A woman was found dead and her husband, a former diplomat, is missing after the couple was swept down a Hawaii river while they were on vacation for an early Christmas present, reports said. Gladys and George Novinger, of Spring Valley, Calif., were attempting to cross the Wailuku River around 12:30 p.m. Saturday when they were swept into the river and went over an 80-foot waterfall, Hawaii police said. Gladys Novinger, 62, was discovered in the pool below Rainbow Falls and was taken to the hospital. Gladys Novinger’s son, Joseph Harmes III, told the newspaper he was with them when they were swept away. The couple also owned the Hacienda Vineyards in Rancho San Diego, Calif., according to San Diego Union-Tribune.
