The following partial story was taken from The Columbian, a Clark County, Vancouver, Washington newspaper web site. Any body with more information, please provide it?
There is a better story on the Oregoian web page but I could not bring it up for copying.
What this brief discription of the incident failed to include is that is was a commercial trip, operated by an Oregon rafting company, and not a recreational trip.

Officials in Skamania County today plan to use a sophisticated rope system in an attempt to recover the body of a 32-year-old woman who was thrown from a raft in the Wind River on Sunday.
Lauren Orton of Portland was missing and presumed drowned near High Bridge, two miles north of Carson, said Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown.
Immediately after the raft hit a rock and threw her out, Orton was carried over a 6-foot waterfall.
Orton's life jacket and helmet floated to the surface
