Volunteer water search teams offer to help trace missing Peter Baglin as 'social media detectives' emerge online
Kind-hearted volunteer water search teams have offered a hand in the ongoing efforts to trace missing Salford grandad Peter Baglin. The 55-year-old, from Boothstown, vanished nine weeks ago after going out for an evening walk on December 28. He was last seen on CCTV cameras in a local petrol station, on the East Lancashire Road, buying a small bottle of whiskey.
Lancashire Police had previously slammed a number TikTok sleuths regularly seen filming near the location of where Nicola Bulley was last seen who had shared conspiracies in posts online. It prompted police to implement dispersal orders in the area and council chiefs to slam acts of 'social media idiocy'.
"It is very inappropriate and just fuels more speculation. I don't like the implications, but I have already had this with all the stuff on Facebook." A voluntary underwater search team, Beneath the Surface, based in Lancashire, stepped in to offer further help on Tuesday . They contacted Michelle to offer their assistance in the ongoing search, using high frequency sonar technology to scour around three miles of the Bridgewater Canal but that the search did not indicate a body.
"Now we regularly volunteer with Police and Search And Rescue as well as continuing to volunteer to families directly. We take this important work extremely seriously and regularly train and try to improve our equipment. We use high frequency sonar, underwater camera and dive equipment to locate objects underwater. If any potential target is located we visually identify to confirm.
