This is an update from Lucas Charron from the Nov 22, 2020 - Search and Rescue for Brett Event.
**UPDATE**
I just want to start off by saying thank you to everyone that took the time out of their busy schedules to come out today and help us search for Brett! We had an amazing turn out and you could definitely feel the love and how much we all wanted to bring Brett home today. However unfortunately our search today yielded no results. On a positive note though we all put in a lot of good effort today and covered a lot of ground which is just one step closer to being able to rule out the possibility that he is lost. I have spoke with the detective in charge of this case and was told that they received a lot of calls today with possible clues so thank you to everyone who reported those! They will be collected and examined and it will be determined later weather they are linked or not but every little bit helps so again thank you!
As a lot of you have been asking. Yes the fire department has had boats on the Trent searching the water as well as the police helicopter and drone flying up and down the river and over wooded areas searching. The police conducted grid searches in the area today as well but as far as I know did not yield any results either.
Some of you have been asking if the search will continue tomorrow. Unfortunately I will not be able to continue the search myself as I have to go back to work but I encourage anyone who wants to continue searching to do so! Just please do not search alone and please try and keep away from the water. We do not want to create another search and rescue mission.
From the information I have gathered Brett rarely left campus and when he did, it was just going to a friends house to hangout, although recently due to covid-19 he has only been to a couple of friends houses who are also actively involved with helping to try and find him and did not see Brett the night of his disappearance. Brett would go home Friday every week and come back Monday and his parents helped provided everything he would need such as groceries, snacks, coffee, laundry, even occasionally alcohol. He also had a meal plan for food. They made sure he did his errands on the weekends so that he did not have the struggle of trying to navigate Peterbrough alone to get the things he needed by himself throughout the week.
What I suggest knowing this information is to continue to search the campus and surrounding woodland areas although you should still keep looking everywhere you go weather near the campus or not. I know we have already searched a lot of these areas but someone may see something someone else didn’t so it never hurts to keep trying! If you do decide to keep searching I ask that you please be respectful of peoples property and private space and do not enter any buildings unless authorized if we are searching the campus areas. Also please be polite if security questions your presence. They are actively assisting with the search for Brett and I would like to thank them for all their support today as well.
I want to give a special thank you to the the owner Donna of the Tim Hortons and her staff on water street for allowing us to use her establishment to meet and park as well as print off more maps for us and provide coffee this morning. It was very kind and much appreciated!
This is all I know for now and will update as I find out more. The information I have gathered is not official information released by police it is just information that I have gathered from family and friends that I believe may aid in helping find him.
Thank you again to everyone for all your support and let’s get Brett home safe!
If any contact is made with Brett or you see anything you think might be related to his disappearance please leave it where you found it and contact the Peterborough police 705- 876-1122.
