NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKBW) — Searchers have recovered the body of one of two people who died when the boat they were in crashed in the Upper Niagara River last week.
New York State Police located the body of Natalie Sansivero, 46 of Grand Island, on Friday, about a mile from where the crash occurred.
The search for 66-year-old Jerome Williams of Buffalo, who investigators believe was operating the boat, continues.
