Authorities in southwestern North Dakota searched Monday for three Dickinson State University softball players reported missing after a friend received late night telephone calls that mentioned water and indicated the women needed help.
Dickinson Police said a friend of the women received two telephone calls from them, about one minute apart, before the line cut out. The exact words used in the calls and exactly which of the women they came from were not immediately released.
School officials knew they had a problem as soon as they arrived at Our Lady Star of the Sea Regional School in AC on Monday morning.
Several teachers and staff members also called in sick, and more children went to the nurse with flulike symptoms during the day.
By the end of the school day, with more than half of the students out sick, school officials opted to close for the rest of the week.
Authorities say a 20-year-old woman from Iraq whose father allegedly hit her with his car in a Phoenix suburb died from her injuries.
Family members say Faleh Hassan Almaleki believed his daughter had become too Westernized and was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.
