missing college softball players found dead

[Amby 490]

Three college softball players, who vanished Sunday night while at a North Dakota lake where they often went star-gazing, were found dead in their vehicle, which was pulled from a pond.

Police Lt. Rod Banyai said Tuesday night that police are "still investigating" the cause of the deaths.

Kyrstin Gemar, 22, of Grossmont, Calif.; Afton Williamson, 20, of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and Ashley Neufeld, 21, of Brandon, Manitoba in Canada, all play softball for Dickinson State University in Dickinson, N.D.

A friend reported getting two phone calls from the two of the women late Sunday evening. The caller mentioned that they were near a lake and water and indicated they needed help before the line went dead, police said.

The women were believed to be in a white 1997 Jeep Cherokee with California plates when they were last heard from, authorities said.

Police described the first as a "very scratchy" call for help.

Kyrstin Gemar's father Lenny told Fox News on Tuesday that new information from Verizon has helped investigators narrow their search.

"There were calls made from two different girls to two different girls," Kyrstin Gemar's father Lenny told Fox News. "It was very apparent from both calls that there was some kind of an emergency."
