Boat found in search for Felicity Loveday and son Adrian Menevau
A mum and son who went on a boating trip last week have failed to return. Now, worryingly, their boat has been found empty.
An empty boat has been found five days after a Melbourne mother and son set out on a trip that was expected to last only two days.
Felicity Loveday, 83 and her 56-year-old son Adrian Menevau were last seen at 7am on Wednesday at Olivers Hill boat ramp in Frankston.
They told family they were going on a trip for a couple of days, police said. It’s believed their boat was found submerged by a fisherman about four nautical miles from Ricketts Point on Sunday and police are towing it to Black Rock where it will be examined.
In a statement, Victoria Police said they were continuing to search for the missing mother and son.
“Water Police are towing the boat to Black Rock where it will be examined.”
