FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Rapid currents and poor conditions have hampered the search for a man missing since his tinny flipped in a flood-swollen river in northwestern Sydney on Tuesday night.
The search will resume on Thursday morning.
Peter Rhinehardt, 25, of Riverstone was last seen clinging to a tree after his aluminium boat overturned on the Nepean River near the Yarramundi Bridge about 8pm (AEDT) on Tuesday.
Mr Rhinehardt’s friend, Steve Adams, who was onshore at the time, swam out to the boat to help, but his mate was swept away.
“He’s gone: `Steve, help me, help me, Steve’,” Mr Adams told Seven Network.
“He grabbed my arm, but before we could actually lock hands he just slipped straight out.
“I just kept yelling out, `Where are you? Where are you?’ and I couldn’t hear him, I couldn’t see him.”
The search for the father of three children – the youngest of whom is four months old – resumed at 8am (AEDT) on Wednesday downstream of Windsor, with helicopters and police divers joining the search.
State Emergency Service rescuer Philip Treacy said Wednesday’s search had been difficult.
“Water is fast-flowing, visibility is very poor,” he told AAP.
“We couldn’t see below the surface. The fact there’s so many fallen trees in the water, that’s the biggest problem.”
Mr Rhinehardt’s partner, Nicole Thornton, said: “I’m not leaving until he’s found. I just want to find him, whatever. My family and our friends are out there looking for him.”
She told Seven Network: “I want him back safe and sound.”
Mr Rhinehardt was testing the boat when it capsized, Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson told reporters on Wednesday.
Det Insp Anderson warned people against taking their boats out on the water.
“They must appreciate that the river has been subject of heavy waterflows in recent weeks,” he said.
“They need to exercise extreme caution.”
