An organization searching for two missing Londoners plans to scour a park near the Thames River this weekend.
If the search Oct. 5 and 6 at Cavendish park doesn’t provide physical evidence, the continuing efforts to find out what happened to Kathryn Bordato and Shelley Desrochers might at least prompt someone to come forward with clues, said Nick Oldrieve, executive director of Please Bring Me Home.
“I would love nothing more than to find some kind of evidence down on that river. This is the only location we have right now. We could be wrong, but we need someone to point us in the right direction,” he said.
“I implore the public: Please don’t be scared. If you’ve heard of something, don’t be afraid to bring it forward to us or London police.”
A group of at least six volunteers with the organization, which aims to help find missing people, will search both sides of the river because of the park’s connection to Bordato.
A 44-year-old mother of two, Bordato was last seen around Aug. 16, 2009, between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. near Cavendish park, southwest of Riverside Drive and Wharncliffe Road, London police believe.
An investigation into her disappearance began in February 2010.
Her boyfriend, Ronald Kevin Fangrad, told investigators he dropped her off at the park either that day or the next, London police Det. Insp. Alex Krygsman said in an episode of the series Never Seen Again released on Paramount Plus last year.
There are three possible reasons he told police that, Oldrieve said.
