This weekend we are heading up to Monymusk, Aberdeenshire to help the family of Hazel Nairn.

Hazel has been missing since November 2022 when she and her dog were tragically swept into the River Don when it burst it's banks.

Sadly the body of Hazel's dog was recovered a few days later but no sign of Hazel has been found.

The river is 30 miles (50km) to the coast and that along with the amount of time Hazel has been missing makes this one of our most difficult searches to date.

We will be receiving assistance from qualified and experienced divers from Aberdeen Diving Services Ltd and Aberdeen BSAC along with experienced kayakers who regularly use the river.

A new search by volunteers began on Saturday

The river continues for 31 miles from her last known location until it reaches the sea, but the search will focus on areas such as bends where a body might be trapped, he told BBC Scotland News.

"The chance that she is still in the river is quite likely," he added. "It is usually in the first few miles that we find people."

Hazel was just yards from her home when she was swept into a flooded field. It is thought she was then carried into the river.

Beneath the Surface volunteers will be using a boat equipped with sonar scanning equipment and underwater cameras as well as diving gear.

They will be helped by experienced divers from Aberdeen Diving Services Ltd and Aberdeen Sub Aqua Club, as well as kayakers who regularly use the river.

She said: "She was a beautiful lady. Just a friendly, nice person to know. It was just so lovely to see how she treated and loved Georgia, her granddaughter.

"She was so very proud of her family. She was proud of what Anneka, her daughter, had achieved and very proud of Georgia. The little apple of her eye, was Georgia."
Jane added: "There's no closure. It's been really hard. It's been hard for us but incredibly hard and cruel for Anneka and Georgia.

"If we could find something, it would help to get a wee bit of closure. It's just really hard not knowing."
