Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – June 14, 2025 – Friends of Raven Cush and her longtime boyfriend, Victor (King Vick) Cobbs, have opened a GoFundMe account to help Cush and Cobbs with expenses in Florida while the search for Cush’s ten-year-old daughter, Trinity Eslinger, continues.

Eslinger has been missing since around 7:30pm Thursday night. Her mom posted a heartbreaking and emotional account of the swimming tragedy on her Facebook post early Friday morning. “You was just right here having so much fun. I held you in my arms. I feel like such a failure. I made it to you I gave it all I could. I just want you to know I tried my hardest baby girl. I promise. I swallowed so much water but I kept going. I got you to someone who could swim. I let them take over and went under thinking they had you. I only came back up for you. The current has me too, but I remember not to panic to just hold my breath and tried to float. When they pulled me out (of) the water and I didn’t see you I lost it. I should have went back in. My body just gave out. I tried to move but couldn’t. I looked for you. I screamed for you. I still hear you. I’m so so sorry baby girl. I’m so sorry.”

Since Trinity went missing Thursday night, rescue workers with the Okaloosa, FL County Sheriff’s Department, Destin Fire Rescue, U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies have been searching for the young girl. Cobbs told JonesboroRightNow on Saturday, “there are helicopters and Coast Guard units all over.”

The GoFundMe account information shares the desire friends have to help with the expenses of staying in Florida and the effort to find Trinity and be able to bring her home. “Hello everyone, I am setting up this GoFundMe to help my friend/my sister with expenses while in Florida searching for her baby, Trinity. Trinity, who is 10 years old, and her family were on vacation having fun swimming at the beach. While there, Trinity was swept away by a current. Her mom tried with everything in her to save her. There is a rescue team out every day searching for my niece. All we want is for Trin to be found so her mom can bring her home. Trinity is such a loving kid; she has a whole life ahead of her. We all looked forward to her turning 11 in just a month or so. She’s supposed to be going to the 5th grade. All she wanted was to have fun. Trinity is loved by so many people. If you can, put it in your hearts to pray for Trinity’s family as everyone is going through a hard time right now. All prayers and donations are appreciated.”
