The search for Ms. Silver-Valker has not been called off by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, nor other agencies that are also assisting in the underwater search efforts, which include the Los Angeles County Fire Department and Baywatch Lifeguards. Divers assigned to the above agencies suspended the underwater search late this afternoon, and will be returning to Catalina Island tomorrow morning (December 31, 2015) to continue the search efforts. This response was posted because wrong information about search efforts can be hurtful to the victim's family and friends.
