Equusearch scans canal before barrier goes up By Amy MooreThe Port Arthur News Armed with a boat, two sets of sonar equipment, eight volunteers and a cadaver dog, the EquuSearch team began scanning the canal at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Families of the canal’s victims stood solemnly on the water bank, watching and thinking of their departed loved ones.
Kristen Harmon, relative of Anthony Harmon, said she chose to look at the situation as positive instead of wishing it had happened earlier, possibly saving the life of her loved one. “We made them listen,” Harmon said. “I’m just glad they’re doing something.” Founder of EquuSearch, Tim Miller, said the tremendous outpouring of support and the Port Arthur Fire Department is incredible. “They’ve done well for us and are taking care of us,” Miller said. The EquuSearch team's existence and purpose is dedicated to the memory of Laura Miller, a young woman abducted and murdered in North Galveston County in 1984. Laura was the daughter of EquuSearch founder, Tim Miller. Lawless said that family members who have lost loved ones in the canal have already called expressing gratitude and support for EquuSearch’e efforts in recovering unknown vehicles and possible victims in the canal.
