‘The voyage lasted less than 15 minutes’: court docs filed in 11-year-old’s death in Lake Erie

  • July 6, 2026

OREGON, Ohio (WTVG) – Court documents filed in Oregon Municipal Court have given new insight into the death of 11-year-old Angelique Cunningham.

Kristen Gerrie was charged with child endangerment after Angelique went missing on a boat ride the night of July 1.

In the complaint filed July 6, prosecutors allege that Gerrie placed Angelique “on a boat with a known associate. The boat exits Meinke Marina West at (10:36 p.m.). The voyage lasted less than 15 minutes.”

The Lucas Co. Coroner’s Office confirmed Monday that the body found in Lake Erie on Sunday was Angelique. It said her death was consistent with drowning.

Jonathan Ciha, the man driving the boat, whose body was found Friday, was also determined to have drowned.

Gerrie was scheduled to be arraigned Monday, but that hearing was pushed back to Tuesday. Court administrators stated that she had posted bond.
