Searching for Maddy Scott by sonar boat | Forensic Files

I told the rüstov reduce it for 48 hours we're a Hawks back lake it's the lake where Maddie Scott was camping when she
was last seen she was a 20 year old girl who was camping here and mysteriously disappeared no one's seen it for I don't
know 467 days now so we were out on this hogsback lake with us on our boat Peter
Benzema here on the cinema mode so we'll let you know if we find anything but what we see a little later Thanks they
use these so NARS to help people find bodies and they found them in i think it was 280 feet of water for you is is his
searching personal as well as professional yeah it is it's more personal than professional I would never
request anything for any of my time for me I've got a daughter as well that's close to that age and I would hope that
people would do the same for me if I was not certain situation so how does it work uh it operates at a really high
frequency it sends a signal down and it just reads a signal coming back and you actually get an image with this you do
yes a good image that's much better than what a normal transducer will give you so you're the unit you have those right
under the water under here yeah it's mounted to the bottom of the boat just off the back of the transm hmm and it's
about probably a foot and a half in the water right now how deep can it look oh it can it can go probably a few hundred
feet down based on your training if there were human remains and we went over them would you be able to tell
most definitely and you've spent hours on this lake doing just that searching for remains I have and so far so far I
have not seen anything that even closely resembles uh remains so what do you think of this whole miss uh there's
something very fishy somebody knows something people don't just disappear and nobody knows anything not around
here
