Didn’t you used to work at sea?

I did, some people lost at sea are never found, another “old wives tale” I’m afraid.

Yes.

Fair enough.

 

Next time you pick a fight with someone because they suggest that sometimes it's unwise to listen to experts, I'll remind you of this.

 

Oh, and in future could you please try and type what you mean.

 

So if you actually meant that they were talking bollocks, it would probably have been better if you'd said that initially.

 

Save any confusion.

 

Thanks.

Seems that either the cops or family themselves have taken up the offer made by the guy interviewed on GB news to send his team up to search the river properly.

 

They were due to start this morning at first light and he said that they should be able to conclude the search definitively within a day.

 

Hopefully it will help to move things on in some direction.

I just cant see that amount of river being searched properly in a day and once they get 5-600yds down stream the water clarity changes due to it being tidal,,

Spud the private outfit that are now helping with the water search are called Specialist Group International. Their owner says they're using world leading sonar technology which is a lot more advanced than what the Police have available. He estimates they can cover the entire length of the river in 3-4 days and be confident in the results.

 

Apparently he spoke directly with the family before they started and told them "if she's in the river we will find her" which strikes me as supremely confident.
