00:28
If you want to be.
00:29
Can you keep you get a hold of the Bear River canoe livery and see if they get a few canoes up to us at the Bear River Road access?
00:38
We turned the number we had for them and went to voicemail.
00:41
We left the voicemail to contact us, but they still have to do so.
00:44
At the DNR[2]'s truck on River Road, is there another spot we should go to?
00:47
319 from 2438.
00:50
Matt, see if they'll bring them down with their trailer to Bear River Road and the River.
00:54
You want me to bump my air horn a couple times? I'm parked right behind you.
00:58
I probably still got a quarter mile so I can be able to do anything.
01:00
I need even water right now.
01:02
Did you copy that, Matt?
01:03
Okay.
01:04
Just let me know, I can start hitting the sirens over the air horn.
01:06
You can get a better idea where we're at.
01:08
I think. 9399. Yeah, go ahead.
01:09
If they can grab a few canoes, the more the merrier.
01:12
They got dive teams ready to go down at that end that they can jump in and go also.
01:16
Two four units from Central, if I could have one of you that are not currently preoccupied, switch to Maine, please.
01:21
Central 2416.
01:22
Good.
01:23
We didn't copy.
01:25
4699 myself are going to be establishing the command here together at, uh,
01:29
on River Road just north of Kruehler in the driveway.
01:32
Copy. Control from the 2438 on the Piano location.
01:35
ID899, how are you doing? I've got a suspicious pending vehicle parked at the MSP[3] post in Potoski.
01:42
Won't give us any information.
01:43
So he says information to turn over to a lot about six years in the county.
01:46
We're good.
01:47
I can send you my location on a tax message here if you give me a minute.
01:53
That'd be great. Okay, we'll be in touch with him just as soon as we can.
01:56
If something changes and he wants to head into Pocky and drop the information off there, we'll get it from now.
02:02
He was advised of a delete.
02:03
Okay, thank you. 99, 99 for me.
02:04
Go ahead.
02:05
Do they know where from me?
02:06
Negative, we could get an answer there.
02:08
99-57. Go ahead.
02:10
I'm running to Collins and grabbing a kayak.
02:14
That's 91 coming from Evergreen Trail up.
02:19
Can you say something about Evergreen Trail?
02:21
91. I caught these guys up here.
02:24
I left from Evergreen Trail.
02:25
Okay, Billy, there's no sense to you continue.
02:28
If you're at Evergreen Trail, you might as well stop there.
02:30
I got 98's basically straight out from Guller Road in a boat right now.
02:37
Central 3422.
02:38
Yes, they're right in front of me right now.
02:40
Go ahead. Is Emily in the kitchen?
02:42
98 is? Out of service, have good night.
02:45
Good night. Yeah, my phone has not updated down in here in the swamp.
02:49
Billy's right behind us.
02:50
Come back.
02:51
Did you go south in the river, did you not?
02:53
2416, 3119.
02:54
Go it through 19.
02:55
Yes, we are heading south in the river.
02:57
Okay. Well, what I really didn't know what I didn't, but she didn't say last time she saw him, he was standing on the east side of the river.
03:04
We're on the east side of the river.
03:07
Central. 34-33.
03:08
Go ahead.
03:09
Any history of anything getting hooked? Looks like it's UTL[1] and that.
03:13
We have one called. 98, 99, look at your picture you sent me at showing you're right straight out from Grueler Road.
03:19
Okay, there's no history then of anything getting pulled.
03:23
Yeah, my phone has not updated back in here, so I'm way farther south than that.
03:28
Probably that.
03:29
Not that we're seeing.
03:30
99.57 a firearm.
03:32
Go ahead. Fifty-seven, go ahead.
03:34
Runnin one of Collins' kayaks.
03:36
Where do you want me to dump in that? Go down to the Bear River access off the River Road and have one of the dive team guys access with that kayak.
03:47
They got their suits on, they can jump in and go from there.
03:50
We'll do. We had a pretty sharp curve back to, you probably went east, and then you headed south on the river, and then you're going to have another sharp curve going back to the west.
04:01
And it sure makes that curve back to the west is about where they found her, or that's where her what three words were.
04:08
Okay, we're at that point right now, and we're just starting to head west.
04:12
So yeah, just to continue off the river,
04:15
I'm not, I got to find out if it's her three words or his three words that they had.
04:19
I know they found her, but he's not with her.
04:22
4699 from Central and Firegram.
04:23
They separated at any rate.
04:26
Stand by 98.
04:27
Central, go ahead.
04:28
What three words were for the female, male half, lost the phone, female half had a male's phone? Okay.
04:34
And the DNR[2] has a female half, correct? A firm.
04:37
D&R is walking female out of the woods now.
04:39
Copy that. You copy that, 98?
04:42
2416 from 2419.
04:43
Okay. Yeah, I'm just trying to get a little description on what type of situation if the mail half was in distress when they were leaving or separated.
04:53
All right, we've covered from Evergreen south to the first responder that's pedaling upstream in a kayak.
05:02
We are going to be relocating the river to cover the remaining gap.
05:05
They are separated.
05:07
All right, Claire.
05:08
I think he's going to be closer to there.
05:09
I sent you a location and the what, three words.
05:13
That was the female, so the male is going to be south of that location.
05:16
Just continue up the river, or down the river,
05:18
depending on how you look at.
05:19
Just continue yourself and keep hollering out for him.
05:23
Go ahead.
05:24
99 from 98.
05:26
We just found a life jacket or a throwable here on this bend.
05:31
Copy that.
