A professional search dog has actually been prepared in to hunt for missing out on Fiona Edson.
A cadaver dog called Buzz, trained to discover drowning victims by ferreting out human fragrance particles originating from water, this afternoon (Thursday) began searching the River Avon in Chippenham.
Whilst it is hoped that the 51-year-old mom – who utilizes a movement scooter – is discovered alive, fears she might have gotten in the waterway in the area of Monkton Park are extremely genuine.
So far, searches have actually not shown up any ideas about her disappearance and investigators’ queries haven’t had the ability to determine where she when on Sunday afternoon (25 June).
A significant search operation was released in the early hours of Monday early morning and stays continuous today (Thursday) – more than four days since Fiona disappeared.
In a declaration on Wednesday, attracted the general public to cast their minds back to Sunday afternoon. He wishes to speak with anybody who might have saw Fiona, or anything unusual in the location.
He said: “We are extremely concerned about Fiona’s welfare and we are continuing to provide support to her family as our searches continue.
“We understand Fiona left her home on her mobility scooter, although she does have limited mobility and can walk short distances. Officers have been working round the clock alongside volunteers from WiLSAR to try and locate Fiona”
Adding: “We would like to thank the members of the public who have already contacted us with information following our public appeals and we would urge anyone who was in the Monkton Park area on Sunday afternoon to cast their mind back…
“Did you see a woman matching Fiona’s description on a mobility scooter? What direction was she heading in? Did anything appear out of the ordinary?
“Any information you have, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, could be vital.”
Anyone with details needs to call 101 and quote log number 342 of June 25 or 999 in an emergency situation.
