Search for Ohio County woman continues

WHEELING, W.Va. — Authorities in Ohio County continued their search Tuesday for an 18-year-old woman who went missing Sunday following flooding.

Crews have asked people to stay out of Big Wheeling Creek as they undergo recovery efforts in the search for Page Gellner.

Authorities said they believe she was the passenger in a van that was swept Sunday following high creek levels caused by heavy rain.

Gellner’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Michael Grow, died after being pulled from a creek bank. He was driving the vehicle at the time.
