ʻO kahi kikoʻī kikoʻī mai kahi ʻatikala Wikipedia ma ka ʻōlelo a ka wahine:

ʻAʻole ia a hala ʻelua mau lā ma hope, ma Ianuali 27, 1998, ua ʻike ʻia ka nalowale o ka lua ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻeke i loaʻa kā lāua mea ma luna o ka moku luʻu. Ua ʻimi nui ʻia kahi ea a me kahi kai ma loko o nā lā ʻekolu e hiki mai ana. ʻOiai ua loaʻa kekahi o kā lākou mea luʻu holoi holoi ma hope ma kahakai mile mile mai kahi a lākou i nalo ai, e hōʻike ana ua make lākou, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ko lākou kino. Loaʻa nā lawaiʻa a pāpaʻu luʻu (kahi mea hoʻohana i hoʻohana ʻia no ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma lalo o ka wai) a kākau i lalo i ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e heluhelu ai: “[Mo] lā 26 Ianuali; 1998 08am. I kekahi [hiki] ke kōkua mai iā mākou: Ua haʻalele ʻia mākou ma A [gin] court Reef e MV Outer Edge 25 Ian 98 3pm. E ʻoluʻolu e kōkua iā mākou [e] hoʻopakele iā mākou ma mua o ka make ʻana. Kōkua !!!

Aia i kekahi manawa ke kuhi manaʻo ua hoʻokumu ka wahine i kā lāua nalo ponoʻī a me / a i ʻole he pālua hoʻomake a pepehi kanaka-make paha e pili ana i kekahi mau puke diary e pīhoihoi ana, akā e like me ka ʻohana a Eileen, ua lawe ʻia kēia ma waho o ka pōʻaiapili a hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka ʻohana ma ke ʻano he a ʻo ka coroner hoʻi. Ua manaʻoʻiʻo kona makuakāne i ka make ʻana a i ʻole ka make ʻana o ka manō i ka manō, a ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia ke kāpena o ka moku, ʻo Geoffrey Nairn, i ka make ʻana, akā ʻaʻole hewa. Ua hoʻopaʻi ʻia kāna ʻoihana ʻo Outer Edge Dive Company ma hope o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka hewa no ka mālama ʻole.

A 2003 kikokikona mai ʻO Jason Daley o Waho kahi ʻōlelo no Nairn a me ka makuakāne.

ʻO Nairn, nāna i pani ʻo Outer Edge Dive ma hope koke iho, manaʻoʻiʻo ua make nā Lonergans ma ka ʻākala. "He pōʻino ia, a ʻaʻole loa wau e haʻalele." mawaho. "ʻO ka likelika kiʻekiʻe loa ua make ʻo Tom lāua ʻo Eileen."

Ma Baton Rouge, ka makuakāne o Eileen, ʻo John Hains, i manaʻoʻiʻo ai ua make pū lāua ma hope o ka haʻalele hema ʻole ʻia ʻana. "Ua makemake ka ʻoihana luʻu o Australia e hōʻoia i kā Tom lāua ʻo Eileen i hana hewa i ko lāua make," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia no nā kumumanaʻo nalo. "Akā ʻo ke ola o ka noho ʻana i ke kai me kahi wahi ʻole e hele ai, nil."

A moʻolelo mai The Guardian i kākau ʻia ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

Hāʻawi kekahi mau ʻike ʻē aʻe i nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona e like me ka mea i hiki. Ua holoi ʻia kahi wetsuit o ko Eileen nui i ka ʻĀkau o Kuini i ka mua o Pepeluali; Ana ka ʻepekema i ka wikiwiki o ka ulu o ka barnacle ma kāna zip i manaʻo ʻia ua nalowale ia ma Ianuali 26. ʻO nā waimaka i nā mea e pili ana i ka ʻūhā a me ka armpit i hana ʻia e ka ʻākako.

Ua holoi ʻia nā lākeke luʻu Inflatable me Tom a me nā inoa ʻo Eileen i uka o Port Douglas, a me kā lākou mau pahu wai - hoʻoliʻiliʻi ʻia e kekahi mau koena o ka lewa - a me kekahi o nā ʻiʻina o Eileen. ʻAʻohe mea i hōʻike i nā hōʻailona o ka hōʻino āu e manaʻo ai mai ka hopena kolohe, e ʻōlelo ana ʻaʻole nā ​​kāne ʻelua i hōʻeha ʻia e kahi manō, e like me ka hōʻike a ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.
