The girls’ bodies were retrieved from the pond at around 2 a.m. They were identified as Zi’ariel Oliver, 9, Amiyah Hughes, 8, and Temari Oliver, 5, by officials.
Footprints and a shoe belonging to one of the sisters were found at the scene, investigators said.
“None of them had lifejackets on, so I don’t know how strong of swimmers they were or if were swimmers at all,” Lt. Game Warden Jason Jones said of the victims.
