City of Waynesville mourns

The Waynesville community is coping with the loss of two of its citizens from what officials are calling a 100-year flood. The body of Jessica Lee, 23, of Waynesville, was found about 7 p.m. Friday night on the Roubidoux River in downtown Waynesville. Lee had been missing since she and her 4-year-old son, Elyjah, were “swept from their vehicle in raging flood waters” on the morning of Aug. 6. Firefighers found Lee’s body a few yards from the Roubidoux River Bridge on Friday. Elyjah’s body was recovered in Waynesville on the day of the incident.
