Despite the fact that the professionals would not return until Monday, the operation continued the search with four boats and a set of equipment made from a jet ski, but they found nothing in the rivers and banks between Cortegada and Ribadavia.
There were no clues inviting optimism to know the whereabouts of the missing Mitogo since Thursday morning. A resident of Arnoia saw him walking at 6:30 am, launching a search operation on the suspicion that he had thrown himself into the river.
