Recent search efforts to locate 21-year-old Dana Dourdeville, missing for ten days now, yielded no signs of the Marion man according to Fairhaven police.

The Southeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council Underwater Recovery Unit and Dive Team launched two boat searches on Wednesday. Setting out from Hoppy’s Landing on West Island, the first boat left at 10 a.m. and searched the ocean floor with an underwater camera.

Searchers checked a scallop farm off the northeast coast of the island first. A crew onboard watched a monitor as it displayed images from the camera’s live video feed.

After reaching the scallop farm, the search team went to the northeast shore of West Island, proceeding south towards the town beach. Shallow waters were also checked along the way. At one point, the video monitor failed and had to be swapped out with a different one. Once the monitor was replaced, a second crew boarded the vessel and conducted another search of the area.

Police said nothing was located during either search; however, had anything been found, the area would have been marked for a dive operation.

Since Dourdeville’s disappearance searchers have used aircraft, boats, all terrain vehicles, K9 units and thermal and night vision technology to help with their efforts.

Dourdeville went duck hunting on Tuesday, Dec. 31. When he failed to return after sunset his mother searched for him. She found his car parked on West Island in Fairhaven but no other sign of her son. She called police who then launched a search.

His kayak was discovered floating off shore three miles to the east of West Island later that night.

The Southeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council is a collaborative of over 21 local police agencies that provide mutual aid services.

The Underwater Search and Recovery Unit conducts searches from shorelines and boats.  Its primary mission is the recovery of people, property and evidence from beneath the surface of the water.
