"We have people who have been doing this for years and years. We have search and rescue operations that take place all the time," he added. He further added that the Lake is closed to everyone excluding media or those who are a part of the official search and rescue team.

"There is no evidence that she made it to land. It`s doubtful she would get to shore else she would have been seen," he said. Buschow further added that the sonar scans of the lake would be completed on Monday and the search operation will continue on a day-to-day basis.
