THE search for the missing resident at Sawley Marina intensified today as police divers began searching the water of the marina.

This followed yesterday's (Tuesday) search of the grounds of the marina and the giving out of leaflets showing photographs of the missing boater, Josh Cotton.

South Bank

Leicestershire police divers began the search early today after all other avenues of trying to discover the whereabouts of Josh failed, with the divers concentrating on the residential area of South Bank of the marina where the boat he shared is moored.

It is now five days since Josh disappeared, with no sighting whatsoever, which has prompted the police to extend their search of the extensive marina.

The information has now been released that Josh is suffering from depression, yet the family state that his disappearance is completely out of character.
