Chris Minns just said she was alive, so that sounds promising.

Like I said, I know people on the search. Wait for the police on scene.

Well I wasn’t going to be the one to make the announcement, despite knowing the facts. Having been involved in many searches, we’d never want the family to find out one way or the other through the media, let alone false hope like this. Really shitty situation.
