The search for a mother and daughter from McLean County that went missing over the weekend has come to a tragic end.
The pair were found deceased in the Green River, according to the Webster County Coroner.
Officials say 80-year-old Bonnie Mayes and 59-year-old Reginia Payne went on a trip to Owensboro and were supposed to go back to Riverside Manor, but they never returned. They were both from Calhoun.
The last time they were seen was just before midnight Friday at the Sonic Drive-In on Frederica Street.
Sources say their car was found north of the boat ramp in Onton, Kentucky, and was pulled from the river shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday.
That came after authorities discovered Reginia’s phone was pinged in Webster County just after 2 a.m. Saturday.
An investigation into cell phone data led first responders to the Onton area of Webster County, where they used sonar images to find their vehicle.
The Webster County Sheriff’s Office says authorities found the mother and daughter deceased inside the car.
No foul play is suspected but an autopsy has been scheduled and the investigation is ongoing.
