On October 28, 2024, 33-year-old Chianti Means and her two children, nine-year-old Roman Rossman and five-month-old Mecca Means were seen crossing a safety guardrail on Luna Island, the small landmass between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. New York State Police concluded the act was intentional. Despite extensive searches by New York State Park Police, State Police, marine patrols and underwater recovery units using unmanned aircraft systems, none of the three bodies have been recovered and officials warned the powerful currents and terrain make recovery unlikely.

In the weeks before the incident Means posted on social media under the alias Diamond Scott, sharing messages that reflected deep emotional distress and conflict about the father of her daughter. Friends and family say she had been privately struggling with postpartum depression after the birth of her youngest child; loved ones described her as a devoted mother who worked as a domestic violence counselor. The community response has focused on mental health awareness and the need for accessible support.

Did anyone in the area see them on Luna Island that night or have information about Means in the weeks before October 28, 2024?
