The search continued Monday for a 56-year-old Nebraska woman who fell into Beaver Creek while horseback riding with her husband and 9-year-old daughter.

Mary Brake of Lincoln was washed downstream after falling into the swift-moving creek Friday evening after her horse lost its footing.

Eagle County sheriff's spokeswoman Shannon Cordingly says rescuers assume she is no longer alive and are now on a recovery mission.

Brake was a prominent Lincoln Realtor who had been helping people buy and sell homes since 1984. Her husband Gene Brake is CEO of HomeServices of Nebraska, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
