Overview
- Humberside Police reviewed video that appears to show a figure entering the water at about 12:19pm roughly 50 metres from Sam’s last confirmed sighting at 12:10pm on Plimsoll Way.
- The camera that captured the footage is around 1km from the location, making positive identification difficult, though investigators say they believe the figure is Sam.
- Specialist units, including the Underwater Search Unit, remain deployed on the water as enquiries continue to trace movements and gather evidence.
- Officers are appealing for two people seen on CCTV on the rear of Ocean Boulevard to come forward, along with anyone on the promenade between 12:10pm and 12:30pm on November 6.
- Sam’s family asked volunteers to stop searching and requested privacy, later saying they need time to grieve as police continue to seek information via 101 quoting log 390 of 6 November.
