“We’re focusing our search on the area around Hveragerði and vicinity. We have teams on land, as well as drones and help from the Icelandic Cooast Guard,” reports Guðbrandur Örn Arnarson, project manager for ICE-SAR. Yesterday, all available search methods were used: cars, search dogs, drones, a helicopter and search teams on land. Altogether, 336 people have participated in the search. Today, about 40 people are searching. Police have received dozens of tips, which are being followed.
Guðbrandur Örn says Hörður is probably avoiding people and trying to find some kind of shelter. “He doesn’t want to be found, but he needs help.”
