A non-profit search and rescue team from Manitoba known as the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team or HEART has come to Terrace to follow up on a search that began in July.
Thomas Kelly was fishing on the Skeena River on July 12th when he was swept away by the water and despite many efforts to locate him, he has not been found.
Local RCMP ended up suspending the search only a couple days after it began, but now HEART has arrived to give it a boost with their dive team and specialized tools like sonar and a special underwater remote operated vehicle.
HEART has also asked for financial donations as they expect this search to be quite challenging and they’re looking for all the help they can get.
