DICKINSON, N.D. – Family members and teammates of three North Dakota college softball players have thrown roses and softballs into a pond where the students were found dead inside their Jeep.
The bodies of 22-year-old Kyrstin Gemar, of San Diego; 20-year-old Afton Williamson of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and 21-year-old Ashley Neufeld, of Brandon, Manitoba were found inside their white SUV on Tuesday. Authorities say it appears the three went on a stargazing trip when their vehicle slid into the pond in southwest North Dakota.

Police traced cell phone signals from the women's frantic calls to friends late Sunday. Those signals helped lead authorities to the pond near Dickinson.
About 30 relatives, friends and teammates gathered at the pond on Wednesday.
