The 15-year-old woman who apparently went into the East River close to Roosevelt Island on Friday and vanished stays lacking Monday, days after emergency crews have been known as for a report of a lady within the water.
It was round lunchtime.
Divers from the NYPD and FDNY searched Friday and into Saturday for the woman. Utilizing ladders and cord, divers went into the East River to seek for the woman slightly below the bridge that connects Roosevelt Island to Lengthy Island Metropolis. NYPD Harbor Unit vessels within the water have been seemingly utilizing side-scanning sonar to attempt to find her.
Within the air, a NYPD helicopter and a drone scanned the water.
No new particulars on the investigation have been instantly supplied Monday.
The East River is understood to have a powerful present, and the visibility is extraordinarily poor beneath the floor of the water. It is usually a busy hall for vessels, as a NYC Ferry line runs from East ninetieth Avenue to the island.
