At the moment, what we can tell everyone is that they have narrowed the search down to the waters around Bois Blanc Island. We don't expect the news to be positive. We are awaiting an official press release of the CAP's activities, today; but the Civil Air Patrol talks with Kathleen several times a day, regardless.
On Friday, the day they took off from Makinac Island, several residents of this island reported to the local authorities that they heard a plane and then a "loud boom". I received a link to the island's online community where a posting had begun about this development, from concerned citizens there, who had independently found this blog. Our families were unaware of this, and had only reported Brooke and Karen missing when they did not land at the airstrip in Bad Axe, MI.
On Monday morning, we received word that some debris was found on the beach at Bois Blanc Island. This led to the belief that the plane was in the water, not on land.
Last night, around 9pm, Kathleen contacted me to say that Coast Guard is sending divers down today. That is all we can report at the moment. Keep checking in for more news.
Hilary and Gregory are in Washington, DC; now, at Karen and Brooke's house.
