After a short pursuit, Hamer drove off of the dead end of Omarest into the Broad River.

First responders then began the search for Hamer.

Coroner identifies woman who died after driving into Broad River

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The Richland County Coroner’s Office released the identity of a woman who drove off a dead end road into the Broad River Wednesday afternoon .

Richland County Coroner Naida Rutherford identified the woman as 23-year-old Tierra Hamer.

A Wednesday afternoon news release from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) said deputies received a call about a domestic incident on Long Creek Drive in a neighborhood near St. Andrews. A man called to say that a woman had hit him with her car and “was trying to do it again,” according to the initial news release.

That release said deputies responded to the area and chased the woman briefly for about one minute before she drove off a dead end road and into the Broad River.

Hamer’s mother said she was not running from law enforcement, but instead was running from the man who called 911 on her.

She said her daughter was the victim in this domestic-related incident and had complained about the man who called 911 several times.

A second release from the sheriff’s department said: “As deputies attempted to catch up to her, the suspect intentionally drove through the dead end of Omarest [Drive] and into Broad River.”

After an hour and a half long search, deputies found Hamer’s body in the river.

WATCH: Friends of missing woman call in dive team to search vehicle submerged in Kern River near Lake Isabella

is your Kern River Valley Neighborhood News Reporter. He covers Lake Isabella, Kernville, and Wofford Heights among others!

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. (KERO) — Friends of Christina Murphy called in a private dive team known for solving cold cases to help them learn more about a submerged vehicle they believe is Murphy's.

• Friends of Christina Murphy told 23ABC that she hasn't been seen since July 22.
• Kern County's Sheriff's Office released a statement saying they are aware of the submerged vehicle but have not recovered it due to safety concerns.
• On September 10, there was roughly 850 cubic feet-per-second of water flowing through the portion of the Kern River that the vehicle is located in.

BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

This is the part of the Kern River several friends of Christina Murphy believe her car is located in.

“I was in shock honestly, I was like, ‘No, no way,’ I was in denial. When I did get here I was in denial, I was just devastated,” said Cherish Mckinney, a friend of Christina Murphy.

Mckinney, is recalling the day that Murphy’s friends located parts of her car, near the Kern River off of the178, just south of Elizabeth Norris road. This was shortly after Murphy disappeared on July 22.

Mckinney knew her because they both worked at the hospital as nurses.

“Christina was hilarious,” Mckinney remembered, “She was the best nurse, the most compassionate nurse.”

“She had gone missing, we went looking for her for the day,” said Stephanie Young Esparza, another friend of Murphy.

Esparza was part of the group of friends that went looking for Murphy shortly after her disappearance around July 22nd. Esparza said Kern County’s Sheriff's was also present during the search.

“The Sheriffs were very aware,” Esparza said.

However, once the location of the vehicle was determined Esparza said the Kern County Sheriff's office said it would be unsafe to attempt to remove it.

“We all have so many questions, is she in the car or is she not in the car? We just want answers,” Mckinney said.

That’s what led friends of Murphy to contact Adventures With a Purpose, a private entity that locates vehicles in bodies of water.

“We travel the U.S working missing persons cold cases,” said Jared Leisek, Founder of Adventures with a purpose.

Jared Leisek says they focus on people missing with their vehicles.

“We are an underwater search and recovery dive team so we start topside with sonar, with boats is how we normally start the search, and once we identify that there might be a target underwater, then we’ll dive down and see if it’s the target we are looking for.”

Leiseck dived into the Kern river and inspected the car.

“At this time the windows are all broken out, I don't have confirmation whether or not Christina is inside,” Leisek said.

Leiseck said after he dived and inspected the vehicle, he let local law enforcement takeover.

The moment that we identify the vehicle that we are interested in, it becomes an all-stop and we treat it as a crime scene.”

After speaking with Kern County Sheriffs, Leiseck was told not to removed the car with his own gear, and it would be taken over by KCSO, which had multiple vehicles on the scene.

Friends of Murphy watched the footage Leiseck captured.

“My heart was broken, there was algae on the car, there was fish swimming in the car. I'm a nurse, I’m realistic, and in my head I can imagine what the possibilities are and that’s just not fair, it's not fair that she’s still in the water,” Mckinney said.

Friends were waiting around the site with the belief that KCSO Search and Rescue was going to remove the car on Tuesday.

However, without providing an update to those waiting, law enforcement left around 3 pm - – surprising those who were waiting near the scene.

“Everybody's gone - except for your vehicle, that’s the only one that’s up there. They left, so they’re not doing it,” said one of the friends waiting at the scene of the submerged vehicle.

“There’s your answer, they're not doing anything and they didn’t even inform us,” Mckinney said after hearing this information.

Around 5 pm Kern County Sheriff's office provided an update:

“On July 23, 2024, Kern County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams responded to the Kern River near Hwy 178 for a possible submerged vehicle. SAR deployed a drone,cameras, and vessels to determine if there were any occupants in the vehicle.

Due to clarity of water, unsafe water conditions, and high-water levels SAR was unable to complete the recovery or determine if any occupants were in the vehicle.

SAR has been out to the location weekly to check the depth and flow of water, but CFS (cubic feet per second) has been too high. Due to the dangerous conditions, the divers were not able to conduct a recovery mission.

SAR has been in regular contact with the water master from the Army Corps to monitor water levels until it is acceptable for a dive team to go in safely.

Today, September 10, 2024, SAR divers evaluated the vehicle and determined it is still too dangerous of a mission for our divers.

As soon as conditions improve, and divers can safely enter the water, SAR will make efforts to recover the vehicle.”

Now friends are left in limbo - waiting for news about the friend they love.

“She was a beautiful person, she was a driven person, she just loved all her people,” Esparza said.

“Thank you for serving your community, for loving your friends and your kids and being the person you are, she was an inspiration,” said Mckinney.

River Jet Boat 23" Brushless Self-Righting Deep-V RTR

Selected store, all features.

There's nothing like riding in a full-scale jet boat, from jumping waves to darting across the lake. Jet boats can change direction in a heartbeat, providing thrill ride after thrill ride. The 23-inch RTR Deep-V River Jet Boat lets you cruise anywhere-including through rapids and moving water. The jet boat doesn't have an exposed propeller, turn fins or rudder. And with its powerful propulsion system, this boat can run in minimal amounts of water-even just a few inches. Thanks to its self-righting feature, the boat flips back over in a matter of seconds by activating the throttle. So whether you're new to RC boating or an experienced captain, you're sure to have a blast jumping rapids and running upstream.

Extreme power

The efficiently designed jet pump provides maximum propulsion and expert handling.

Self-righting hull

Thanks to the boat's self-righting feature, it flips back over in a matter of seconds by activating the throttle. Now you can drive in moving water without the fear of losing your boat.

Run-anywhere flexibility

The high-impact, blow-molded hull lets you bounce off rocks without worrying about cracking the hull.

Interference-free connection

The included Spektrum ™ STX2 ™ 2.4GHz FHSS transmitter provides a clear, precise connection while the boat is on the water.

Drunk Driver Pretending To Sleep Had Fake Passports, Cocaine In Rochelle Park Traffic Stop: PD

More than $32,000 in cash, cocaine, fake European passports and more were seized from an intoxicated driver and his New York passenger in a motor vehicle stop over the weekend in Bergen County, NJ, police said.

Michael Carty and George Lenard.

George Lenard, 23, of Morganville, NJ, was stopped on West Passaic Street by Rochelle Park Police Officer Chris Kiszka around 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, for erratic driving, RPPD Chief Dean Pinto said.

Lenard quickly jumped into the backseat and pretended to be asleep, Pinto said.

Meanwhile, the officer spotted open containers of alcohol in the center console, and Lenard appeared intoxicated, Pinto said. Lenard was removed from the vehicle and subsequently failed field sobriety tests. 

A search of the vehicle revealed cocaine, anabolic steroids, numerous fake identifications, European passports, and $32,033.00 in U.S. currency, the chief said. Several printed flyers for “Vantage Paving and Masonry Company” were also found inside the vehicle. 

The passenger, Michael Carty, 25, of Richmond Hill, NY, and Lenard, were both placed under arrest. 

Carty was charged with drug possession while Lenard was charged with DUI, drug possession with intent to distribute, possession of false government documents, possession of property derived from criminal activity, and credit card theft. 

Detectives are investigating the source of the U.S. currency, possibly in conjunction with the paving flyers found in the vehicle, Pinto said. Multiple aliases were identified for both suspects, and final identification is still pending.  

Both Lenard and Carty were held in the Bergen County Jail.
