Search for missing kayaker in Halifax-area lake enters third day
The search for a missing kayaker in a Halifax-area lake has entered its third day.
Search crews have been looking for 26-year-old Jashansdeep Kaur in Long Lake Provincial Park in Spryfield, N.S., since Sunday afternoon.
Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency told CTV Atlantic a kayaker had noticed an empty kayak floating in the lake, but no one was near the boat.
Kaur was reported missing around 12:40 p.m. Sunday.
Halifax Regional Police says search crews have found Kaur’s cellphone and life-jacket, but they are still searching for the missing woman.
Searchers have been using rescue boats with side-scan sonar to scour the lake while drones have been flying over the area.
Police said Tuesday morning that Kaur’s disappearance is still being treated as a missing person investigation and the search is ongoing.
Kaur is described as a South Asian female with a slim build and long dark hair. She is about five-feet-tall.
She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, black pants, and white and black sneakers.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 902-490-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
