Sister of missing kayaker 'heartbroken' as search wraps up

Shane Wilson, a 53-year-old man, disappeared after his kayak overturned on the Goulburn River in Victoria, Australia, on July 18. A week-long search involving multiple agencies, including Victoria Police, the Country Fire Authority, Lifesaving Victoria, and the State Emergency Service (SES), was conducted but has now officially ended. Wilson was not wearing a life jacket, and authorities expressed concern over the rapid river currents. His sister, Melissa Teague, described her devastation at the conclusion of the search, expressing anger and heartbreak over the possibility that her brother may never be found. She shared personal memories of their close bond, emphasizing how much she missed their daily interactions. Authorities have stated they will reconsider the search if new information arises.
