TRAGIC END Bodies of mom and her two children may never be found after they jumped off Niagara Falls, police fearCops said on Wednesday that after sweeping the area thoroughly for days that search and rescue efforts were unsuccessful.THE bodies of a mom and two children who jumped off Niagara Falls may never be recovered.
The heartbreaking news comes after cops launched a desperate hunt to find the bodies of Chaianti Means, 33, and her kids Roman Rossman, nine, and five-month-old Mecca Means.Cops said on Wednesday that after sweeping the area thoroughly for days that search and rescue efforts were unsuccessful.
There has been no sign of any bodies so far, say investigators.
It is possible that her family may never be reunited with the bodies of their loved ones, following previous incidents.
Many of those who have jumped to their deaths in Niagara Falls or fallen in by accident have never been recovered from the bottom of the waterfall, over which 3,610 tons of water rage every second. Means, who was from Niagara Falls, outside Buffalo, New York, scaled the guard rails with her children on October 28.
Officers went to Goat Island at around 9pm on Monday night and started to search for the mom.
They later discovered all three members of the family were missing and believed they had fallen into the water below.
The New York Marine Patrol, Aviation and Underwater Recovery Units are all assisting in the hunt.Unmanned Aircraft Systems have also been deployed by New York State police.
Means went by Diamond Scott online and was active on Facebook, posting lighthearted messages about love and dating just days before jumping from the falls.
However, at the beginning of October, the mom shared now-heartbreaking messages about death.
Chaianti, a mom-of-three, worked as a domestic violence counselor, according to her LinkedIn profile.Tributes have poured in online following the tragic fall.
One of Chaianti’s friends said: “I can’t even bare to write a post about her and share memories.
“I am literally sick to my stomach and I can’t even deal with the emotions I am feeling.
“Just know her and her children are dearly loved by me and my children.”

A second close pal wrote on Facebook: “You really never know what anybody is going through….RIP.”
The U.S. Sun spoke with a friend of Means, Amanda Roberts-Conrad, who said the two last connected at her son’s birthday party in summer 2023.
Means brought her son and her nephew to the celebration, and the trio had tons of fun playing in a bouncy castle together.
However, in recent months, Means had been having relationship troubles and was struggling, Roberts-Conrad claimed.Roberts-Conrad first met Means in 2012 when they got pregnant at the same time.
She remembers the mom as a great friend who always had comforting words when Roberts-Conrad was struggling.
“Diamond was kind and beautiful. I will remember her as such,” Roberts-Conrad said.
