A third underwater search for a young joiner who vanished more than 27 years ago was launched yesterday.
Kevin McGuire, 27, was last seen leaving his home at Stronachlachar, near Aberfoyle, Perthshire, on December 31, 1994. He drove off in his green Saab after a late-night argument with his wife of just five months, Lisa Hainey. No trace of McGuire or his car has been found.
Separate searches of Loch Chon, Loch Ard and Inversaid Pier on Loch Lomond were carried out last month. Yesterday the third search began at Loch Katrine, near where Kevin vanished, and neighbouring Loch Arklet.
The searches are being carried out by a volunteer team called Beneath The Surface, based in Chorley, Lancashire, using under-water sonar technology.
Search leader Phil Jones said they were determined to find Kevin. One theory is that Kevin, from Baillieston, Glasgow, may have had an accident and driven into a loch.
Kevin’s sister Sharon Garvin said: “We have never given up hope of solving the mystery.”
