All four Australians that were reported to be missing in Indonesia have been found alive.
A family member confirmed that Elliot Foote, Steph Weisse, Will Teagle and Jordan Short were found alive after their wooden speedboat struck rough weather whilst en route to the remote Banyak Islands on Sunday night.
Weisse was reportedly found floating on her surfboard in the water, as per 7News. Shortly after, Teagle and Short were said to be found. Peter Foote, Elliot’s father, confirmed that his son was found minutes later.
“It sounds like all four have been found and that’s great. I’m yet to confirm it because I want to hear what shape [Elliot] is in but it’s really hopeful now. Thanks Australia, and the media for helping us get the message out there,” Peter Foote said.
“A lot of people were looking today. But they’ve been in the water a long time, I don’t know how they’re going to be health-wise. But they’re found, they’re alive, they’re well. It’s all good, it’s fantastic news. It’s unbelievable actually, I’m so stoked about that.”
