LIHU'E, Kaua'i — Search crews this afternoon located a second body from the Kaloko Reservoir disaster yesterday.

The body was that of a woman, but she had not been identified, said Mayor Bryan Baptiste. Her remains were located in debris along the route of the flash flood, which came down Wailapa Stream, into Kilauea River and out to sea.

The body of a man was found by a Coast Guard search boat yesterday.

Seven people have been reported missing in the flood.
