  • During the search for David, a coastguard helicopter noticed a blue coat in the Ogwen Valley area, and shortly afterward, a member of the mountain rescue team discovered a similar garment several meters further down a nearby gully, which matched the jacket reported missing by Shayne.
  • A drone pilot discovered fabric and remains washed into the gully, revealing Shayne Colaco’s body and resolving his twelve-year disappearance.
  • Both men were experienced walkers who encountered dangerous ground, underscoring the need for mountain safety and the dedication of rescue volunteers.
