In Idaho Falls two 25 year old Idaho Falls residents Sheri Lynn David and David Lymm Strommer are missing after a rubber boat capsized April 10 in the Snake River about four miles north of the city. Bonneville County Sheriff Blaine Skinner says high water and persistent cold winds have forced search boats off the river and the effort will be extended to next weekend before being suspended.
