Search for missing man temporarily suspended

26-year-old Keiran Wilson, reported missing from Ballandean

The search for 26-year-old Keiran Wilson reported missing from Ballandean has been temporarily suspended until floodwaters recede.

Police on foot and horseback, SES volunteers, police dive squad, swift water rescue, local property owners, helicopters and drones have assisted in the extensive search operation since 15 May.

The Severn River has been searched in the area, however, the search has been impacted by dangerous and fast flowing flood waters and large amounts of debris.

The river will be monitored and the search recommenced when flood waters adequately recede to expose areas within the search area that are currently under water and unsafe to thoroughly search.

Police investigations remain ongoing, with officers providing support to Keiran’s family.

Anyone with information as to Keiran’s whereabouts is urged to contact police.
