The seventh day provided no real definitive results. The area nearby where the four wheeler was found, a piece of red fabric was hooked with the drag bars. And the search continues with many people getting tired and cold. Temperatures today hovered about 10 degrees with a 20-25 north wind so the ice formed quickly hampering progress.
Overview of the site where so much has been done….tireless efforts of so many.
Tomorrow, plans are to drag the bottom of the ice with drag bars that may float underneath the ice. Some believe that more clues will be found there. VPSO Sgt. Daniel “Max” Olick is asking for more assistance from people to show up at the site and more food to feed the many that volunteer their efforts.
