Christiansen was reported missing Saturday after the 23-year-old mother of two left the home of friends in Red Wing and did not arrive at her own home in Hager City.
She'd been driving a white 2006 Dodge Caravan. Family members told KSTP the vehicle pulled from the Mississippi Wednesday matched that description.
Friends and supporters had organized a volunteer search effort and WCCO reports more than 130 people took part.
