MINERAL COUNTY, Colo. — Ten days after a Colorado Springs woman fell into the Rio Grande river, authorities have recovered her body.
On the evening of June 15, the Mineral County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a woman who had fallen into the Rio Grande river.
The family of Roberta Sophia Rodriguez said she slipped on a rock and fell into the South Fork of the Rio Grande river near the town of Creede. Her fiance tried to save her but lost her in the rapids.

After 10 days of searching for her, the sheriff's office announced Tuesday at noon that its search and rescue team had found her body around 10:45 a.m. that day.
One of Rodriguez's sisters, Gina Vasquez, previously told Denver7 that there was no chance even a good swimmer could have saved themselves from the rapids.
"Admire it from afar," she said.
Rodriguez is the sixth person to die this month in Colorado's river rapids. Her family has set up a GoFundMe for her for funeral expenses.
