The search at the bottom of the sea with the help of a sonar and an underwater robot of the girls Anna and Olivia He has moved in the last hours to the area where his father’s boat, Tomás Antonio, was found empty and adrift hours after they lost track of them. Until now, the search had focused on a stretch of about 10 square miles off the coast of Santa Cruz, between the port and the Añaza neighborhood.
Now the Ángeles Alvariño is tracing a route of parallel streets that overlap to cover the surface to be explored between Santa María del Mar and Puertito de Güímar. During this recognition, marks are established in the irregularities of the bottom that require a visual inspection afterwards. This inspection corresponds to the unmanned robot Liropus 2000, with the capacity to operate and collect samples beyond 2,000 meters depth, although if it is properly adapted it can work up to 3,000 meters.
A week of searching at sea
It is about to be a week since the oceanographic vessel Ángeles Alvariño joined the search for Anna and Olivia and, for now, there has been no progress in the search for signs. The search work on the seabed of the southeast coast of Tenerife is proving very complicated, according to the research sources consulted, as the terrain is rocky and full of precipices.
The area where the sonar work has moved is where the manhole of Tomás Antonio GC was located, who went to sea on two occasions on the night of April 27, when his trail was lost.
Succession of facts
He embarked alone, without the company of the girls, and before he loaded suitcases and bags from his vehicle, for which he had to make three trips. Back from his first foray into the sea He was intercepted by the Civil Guard and proposed for sanction for skipping the curfew.
The agents did not find anything suspicious in Tomás’ boat, since at that time the mother had not yet reported the disappearance of her daughters. Then after midnight He set sail again and hours later the boat was found empty, adrift and without anchor in front of the Puertito de Güímar. A child restraint chair used by Anna was found floating in the water nearby.
