He said: "The abandoned house is right opposite the bench on the other side of the river, over a 10ft garden wall. It’s quite posh. We didn’t go into the house, as a volunteer search and rescue team we don’t actually go into buildings. We might go into a barn or something. We leave that to the police. While the team was searching the grounds, the owner was there for some reason, and we asked him to go in and he had a quick look around and she wasn’t there." Photo: National World
He led a search team of 25 volunteers, who were kitted out with mountain rescue radios and were led by an operator inside a control van with mapping systems. Photo: National World
"We probably searched a mile north upstream and then we probably searched probably three miles downstream," he added. "We covered quite a bit." Photo: National World
