April Jones: Statement from Superintendent Ian John

October 6, 2012

I can now give you a brief update on the search operation which continues in Machynlleth.

This morning, we have deployed 10 specialist police teams who are conducting a systematic and methodical search in and around the town.

We continue to have the support of a whole range of search and rescue teams who are using specialist equipment as we continue our efforts.

We will be keeping April’s family fully updated on progress of the investigation.

Despite today’s announcement we are maintaining the momentum of the search and we remain totally focused and committed to finding April.
