Hi Everyone,

It is with a sad and heavy heart we tell you that late yesterday evening we found Helena during our daily search.

While we always held to hope we would find her alive unfortunately this was not to be.

We understand that yesterday there were many people asking for updates of the search however we had to go through a process to confirm this and inform family members.

Our sincere thanks go to extended family, friends, strangers and most of all the many different search teams who have helped us over the past few weeks.

Funeral arrangements will be posted later and at this time we ask that you give us some time come to terms with what has happened.

Rest In Peace Helena.

Bring Helena Home
 
STNW STOOD DOWN - MISSING PERSON FOUND.

As our coordinated searches continued yesterday evening into 7 weeks and two days, our team was facilitating another search with members of a missing persons family and wider circle when a body was found.

Search Team NorthWest raised the alarm to PSNI Foyle and requested assistance from Foyle Search and Rescue to aid with the recovery of the body.

Appreciation to all our volunteers and the public who supported the family by helping us undertake searches at least twice every single day. All your support and effort hasn’t gone unnoticed.

We request that your prayers are with the family and friends of Helena and their privacy is respected during this very difficult time.

STNW.
