ST.LOUIS COUNTY SEARCH AND RESCUE ASSISTING RED LAKE POLICE

Members from the St. Louis County Search and Rescue Team arrived early morning on November 30th with underwater equipment (ROVE's )and formed search teams with Red Lake Law Enforcement, Fire department, and Leech Lake conservation officers. Prior to their arrival, teams from Stutsman County and Valley Rescue (Fargo) left the area yesterday evening after spending three long days of searching with two ROVE'S and a cadaver dog and this was their 2nd trip to Red Lake. The two groups covered and eliminated vast search areas in partnership with Red Lake and Leech Lake agencies.

The new search group started using five ROVE'S today and managed to locate foot imprints on the lake bottom and eventually discovered a green fisherman's boot that most likely belongs to one of the missing fisherman. The team also deployed another cadaver dog and will be using all equipment through Sunday evening.

Progress is still being made and we will continue to update the public as new information becomes available and are we are still hoping for the best.

We can't express enough gratitude to all the outside search and rescue agencies offering assistance to Red Lake so far.
