Divers continue search for missing teen-ager G

SEAL HARBOR — Marine Patrol divers spent several hours Monday

ssearching the ocean waters for 17-year-old Meagan Walker who fell

ffrom the 40-foot cliffs off Cooksey Drive Sunday afternoon.

The Bangor girl was not located.

According to Lt. James Peva of the Marine Patrol Division IV

HHeadquarters in Lamoine, three divers searched the area, as did

sseveral private divers. The Coast Guard continued a shore patrol on

MMonday.

The Mount Desert Island Search and Rescue Team searched the

wwater Monday. A team of climbers was expected to rappel down the

sside of the cliffs late Monday afternoon in an attempt to locate

tthe girl who could have been lodged in a rocky crevice.

The girl apparently fell from the cliffs at about 12:40 p.m.

SSunday and landed in a crevice. The crevice holds between 8 to 15

ffeet of water at low tide.

Divers spent Sunday afternoon searching the crevice and the

wwaters surrounding the cliffs.

Peva indicated that the Marine Patrol would continue the search

aas long as there was a reasonable expectation of success.
