Earlier in the week the team of Americans as well as volunteers from the Sheriff Security and Checkmate conducted two days of major searches on the French side of the island. Those searches were focused on Le Galleon Beach and Baie de L'Embouchure. Despite the cadaver dogs located some hot spots nothing substantial was recovered except a sheet that had blood on it. Authorities have taken that sheet to conduct some forensic analysis to see if the bloody sheet would take them any closer in solving the case.
On Tuesday local reporters went over to the home of Frank Cordes, the husband of the missing woman to secure an interview.
The team of reporters from three of the leading news agencies namely the Daily Herald, AVS News and the Today Newspaper managed to get that interview, half on tape while the other half off the record.
SMN News has been reliably informed that the investigators who are now handling the case spoke to at least one of the reporters in an effort to get the off the record information. Arts Video Studio Reporter Lisa Brown Mac Kay was questioned by the authorities yesterday, while the authorities also requested the taped interview from Arts Video Studio which was delivered to them.
In the meantime, friend of the missing woman Elaine Karas told SMN News that they revisited some of the hotspots yesterday to make sure they did not miss anything. Now that is over they are waiting on the authorities to guide them to other areas where more searches would be conducted.
