FYI: The TROTSAR Mounted Team has had several MSAR teams deployed on horseback
during three of the past four days on the Lewis Recovery Search Mission. Our
MSAR team were been deployed via the Virginia Department of Emergency
Management (VDEM) at the request of Roanoke Police Department. TROTSAR mounted
teams have searched city neighborhoods, warehouse districts as well as nearby wilderness
areas that border the area. Below is a current news report regarding the search
efforts. By Chris Whitley / Digital Journalist WSLS News 10 “People from all over the Commonwealth, and some from as far away
as Saturday, the search for Aveion’s body reached day four.
More than 80 people spread out to look for the boy. “We have everything
from search dogs, to mounted patrols. We may even use aviation
assets. We also have swift water rescue teams out as well”, said Sgt.
Chris Bolling. The search teams are working a 1.5 mile area around the home
where Aveion was last seen alive. That search could be interrupted by bad
weather moving in to the area. “Supposed to have torrential rains tonight
and tomorrow. The search will be suspended after this evening. Then
it will be re-evaluated as to what and how we will continue it”, said
Bolling. Anyone with information about Aveion Lewis is asked to call
Roanoke Police at 853-2212.” |
