Second body recovered after three children went missing in Mississippi River

The body of a 14-year-old girl was found in the Mississippi River, the second body recovered after three children went missing in the water last month, according to the New Orleans mayor.

"Last night's tragic news on the recovery of the body of 14-year-old Brandy Wilson from the Mississippi River breaks my heart," Mayor LaToya Cantrell said Friday in a statement.

Wilson, 15-year-old Kevin Poole Jr., and an unidentified 8-year old were last seen April 23 when they wound up in the river near the Crescent City Connection bridge in New Orleans.

Kevin's body was recovered on Monday.

It's unclear how the children got into the water. CNN affiliate WDSU reported it appears the three were playing when one of the girls fell in, and the other two tried to save her.
