Yesterday's search again turned out to be unsuccessful. The family of Ms Rinta and all of her friends would like to convey their sincere thanks to all of you who have shown tremendous love and support in backing their efforts to find her. They have managed to secure the chopper for this morning to continue the search. After this morning, they will be focusing their efforts towards obtaining more sea craft and divers to assist in the recovery efforts. At the moment Mr Roy has appealed to the Indonesian government for their assistance.

The letter is as follows:

Dear Sirs

URGENT APPEAL TO DEPLOY ALL AVAILABLE VESSELS FOR SEARCH

My name is Roy Paul Mukkam. 4 days ago, on Thursday, 13 July 2017, at 11.30am, my sister, Rinta Paul Mukkam, went missing while diving in the Komodo region of Indonesia.

This is the fourth night she is out there on her own.

Since Thursday, you have assisted us in our search for my sister. I am deeply grateful for this.

My family, friends, well-wishers and I have done everything in our power to engage a helicopter, additional boats, dive operators, park rangers, fishermen and villagers, to coordinate search efforts.

None of our efforts have yielded results.

I am pleading with you to lend any additional assistance you can, in the form of more boats, and a helicopter if possible, and your expertise and experience, to the search efforts.

God bless you.

Yours faithfully

Roy Mukkam
