Rob Russell, the founder of 2A Tactical, a search-and-rescue drone organization, invited two other drone pilots to search Alexander Carr Park for Amanda Grazewski, who was 23 when she went missing.
Before the drones started flying, Russell met with Grazewski’s aunts, Joan O’Connor and Margaret Tourville, to discuss exactly what they would be looking for.
“Ultimately, we’re aren’t doing any physical digging,” Russell said. “People will ask, ‘How can a drone see from up there,’ but there’s indicators on the surface, like plant growth or disturbed dirt.”
During the search, the drones were brought down so the pilots could download the images taken during the flights. During each flight, the pilots would digitally mark points of interest where it looked like the ground had been disturbed.
He, along with the other pilots, were looking for signs of unnatural looking foliage, piles of dirt that might be a buried body, or personal belongings that could have belonged to Grazewski.
Tourville, who is Grazewski’s godmother, traveled from Rhode Island to watch the search.
“Hopefully we find something,” Tourville said. “It’s been a long road, going on five years now.”
