Police have offered a heartbreaking update on the mom who "intentionally" went over Niagara Falls with her two children.
On Monday (October 28), it was reported that authorities in New York were called to Luna Island at Niagara Falls after spectators spotted a mom and two children go through the safety railings and into the top of the waterfall.
Authorities immediately launched an investigation into the matter and it was confirmed the victims were Chianti Means, and her two children: nine-year-old Roman Rossman and five-month-old Mecca Means.
A spokesperson from the New York State Police provided a statement about the matter, revealing details about the incident to WKBW TV.
"We've come to the conclusion that a 33-year-old mother, a nine-year-old, and then a five-month-old were all gone over the falls," they said.
"We do believe it was intentional but the circumstances of that investigation and the circumstances of what actually happened are still under investigation," they continued. "But we know that they went over due to the information from park police and some of the information we were able to obtain through multiple different sources in and around Niagara Falls and pieces of evidence we were able to come across in search warrants."
The police added: "They went there and they never came out. So that's where we're at. [...] Like I said there's a lot of safety railings, a lot of security measures at the state park so it's not something where they just stumbled in."
In a new update, it was also revealed that the search for the missing bodies of the victims has been unsuccessful thus far, but authorities remain vigilant at the scene.
It comes shortly after authorities managed to recover Chianti's Facebook page - which was under the name Diamond Scott - where she had penned a few concerning statuses leading up to the harrowing incident.
Back in September, she expressed her sadness towards her relationship writing: "I wish someone would love me because the man that’s suppose [sic] to does not."
A few days later she took to the platform again to repost a picture that included the words: "Sick of irritation, anger, sadness and rage.”
On October 1, Means also posted: “Everyone please leave me alone I’m in love with my daughter's father. I want my family back. Respectfully Idga* what I said about him before or what anyone else thinks.”
In an exchange online, she also confessed the real reason why she and her man broke up when questioned about the split.
“Cause I was a dumb a** pregnant b**** who swore up & down I ain’t want him,” she replied.
And just one the day before her tragic death, the mom-of-two posted: "Unfortunately for everyone who wanna get with me... my body only craves one person. GM."
Although he was mentioned multiple times, police strongly believe that the man in reference is not suspected of foul play.
