Eden tragically died after the car – carrying five young people – entered the River Nene.
Cops and divers are frantically searching for Declan, who is believed to have been driving the blue VW Polo.
Eden’s family said: “Eden was the kindest, most loving girl we could ever wish for. Her horses – Daisy and Dolly – were her world, and she was ours.
“Words cannot describe the tragedy that will stay with us until we are able to meet her again.”
Declan’s family and friends added: “We are absolutely devastated beyond words and ask for privacy during this tragic time.”
On Wednesday afternoon, police confirmed that the body of a teenage girl had been tragically recovered from the River Nene.
The car had been carrying five people aged between 16 and 18, including two males and three females, when it entered the river, cops said.
Three of the occupants, two females and one male, are known to have got out of the vehicle.
They were rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn with non-life-threatening injuries.
A 16-year-old girl remains in hospital today while the other two have been discharged.
Police and emergency services were at the scene on Wednesday as searches for Declan continued.
A dark green metal barrier stretches along most of the riverbank close to the single track carriageway, which is also flanked by a five-foot-high grass bank.
A blue police tent was set up on the banks of the river while divers scoured the riverbed with cops, paramedics and fire crews all at the site of the incident.
A small group of people, believed to be the family or friends of those involved in the tragedy, gathered on the riverbank on Wednesday afternoon.
DI Craig Wheeler, from Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This is a truly devastating collision, for all involved. My thoughts are with the friends and family of Eden and Declan during this truly horrific time.
“Our investigation is at an early stage, but I would appeal to anyone who may have seen the collision or the blue VW Polo in the Wisbech area between 7pm and 8.20pm on Tuesday to contact police.
“Our focus remains on trying to find Declan, however due to challenging nature of the river, this could be a timely process.
“During this period, there will be an increased police presence along the River Nene whilst we continue our efforts to find him.”
