A team from Sioux City is expected to join in the continued search today (Tuesday), for a teen missing since an accident last Thursday morning. 15-year-old Yoana Acosta, of Denison, disappeared after the car she was riding in went out of control, through a field and entered the Boyer River north of Denison, at around 3-a.m., Thursday. Four other people in the vehicle were able to make it to the roof of the submerged vehicle and were rescued or made their way to safety.

Each day since the accident occurred, law enforcement personnel along with firefighters and other volunteers have assembled to resume the search along the Boyer River. A early 40 mile stretch of the waterway from Denison to Logan has been searched and will continued to be monitored or searched, until Yoana is found.
