A Brandon, Manitoba girl is among three North Dakota college softball players found dead.

The search for Ashley Neufeld and two other women ended Tuesday when a Jeep was pulled from a pond.

Police say investigators are “still investigating” the cause of the deaths and autopsies are planned.

The women disappeared on Sunday, with two friends saying they received cellphone calls before lines went dead.

Police described the first call as a “very scratchy” call for help in which one of the women said they were near a lake and water.
