Press release on
Cameron Donaldson's search
Citizen Report /
Most relevant Thursday, March 21, 2019 9:50
CASE BACKGROUND
Cameron James Donaldson was reported missing by
his mother, a diving partner, when he did not return from a dive at Playa las
Rocas, in the northern zone of the Island of Cozumel, on March 16, 2019 around
2:30 p.m.
The? search has required the participation of
authorities and volunteers, extending from the island of Cozumel to the area of
Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and South Florida in the United States.
Some of the search vehicles have been provided by
the Mexican Government, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of National
Defense, while others have been financed by private funds collected through a
crowd-funding campaign launched by relatives and friends of Cameron: www.gofundme.com/find-cameron-donaldson
All the money collected has been used to rent
aircraft, helicopters and boats necessary for this type of search, which has
been defined according to the analysis of the currents patterns of the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean. With this information, the tracking area could extend
to the south of the United States and to Cuba, whose governments have already
been informed about the possible presence of Cameron in its waters.
UPDATE WEDNESDAY,
MARCH 20
Government and
authorities continue to support the search by land and air. As regards private
efforts, in the morning, nine boats left Holbox on a trip to Cabo Catoche.
Drones equipped with thermal cameras overflew the area of Puerto Morelos and
tried to do it towards Isla Mujeres, however, weather conditions in the area
caused the closure of navigation for small boats and prevented the continuation
of the operation. Two private planes overflew the Key Shores area of Florida
for five hours.
Government and
authorities continue to support the search by land and air. A group of
volunteers arrived by boat to the northern tip of the island of Cozumel - an
area depopulated with abundant vegetation and inaccessible by land - to conduct
an exploration that extended from dawn to around four in the afternoon. A team of
rescue diving experts toured the Cameron diving area even deeper in search of
any trace. The aerial and maritime search continued with 3 small planes, and
the presence of a helicopter belonging to the Government of the State of
Quintana Roo thanks to the kind intervention of Mr. Governing Carlos Joaquín
González.
