The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) will resume research on Thursday for a third day in the Métabetchouan-Lac-à-la-Croix sector following the discovery of human remains this week and last week on the shores of Lac Saint- Jeans .
Rescuers and a helicopter will continue the search in hard -to -reach areas.
The search will continue with a team of rescuers from the Sûreté du Québec and a Sûreté helicopter that will search for areas that are inaccessible, hence areas that walkers and boats have not been able to do in the last days.said SQ spokeswoman Béatrice Dorsainville on Wednesday night.
Rescuers came from the Emergency Measures Specialized Services Division, which is responsible for search and rescue operations.
During the day, about fifteen policemen inspected the banks of the walking sector, MTB
and by boat. This way of doing things will be abandoned on Thursday.Nothing found today (Wednesday)continued the speaker.
On Wednesday, a command post was established inside a hall of the town hall of Métabetchouan-Lac-à-la-Croix.
The decision to continue the process was taken following the end of the search around 7 p.m.
Earlier in the day, the region’s spokesman, Hugues Beaulieu, gave an idea of the scale of the operations.
It’s so vast. Perhaps this is due to rising water. The banks, the beds of the rivers have been cleaned. Are these the only pieces that have been cleared? It’s impossible to answer the question, but we still hope to be able to comfort a family.he said.
Note that the abundant rainfall in mid-May caused a significant increase in the flow of the rivers and the level of Lac Saint-Jean.
The SQ
confirmed earlier this week that the fabrics found recently along with human remains were women’s clothing.However, advanced decomposition of the body makes identification difficult. According to authorities, the body has been in the water for many years.
