January 21, 2022<\/b><\/p>\n

The search for a 14-year-old schoolgirl swept away by floodwaters at Booubyjan during the early hours of January 8 is being scaled back.<\/p>\n

Queensland Police have been co-ordinating the air, land and water search for Krystal Cain near the Burnett Highway and Murgon-Gayndah Road.<\/p>\n

The operation over the past 13 days has included searches by police divers, officers on foot and horseback; and the use of ATVs and drones.<\/p>\n

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services personnel, SES volunteers and LifeFlight helicopters were also a key part of the search operation.<\/p>\n

Sadly, no one has been able to find\u00a0any sign of Krystal.<\/p>\n

Specialised search officers and dogs joined the search this week and drones will be continued to be used within the 10km radius where she was last seen.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson said Krystal was a compassionate, bright and bubbly girl who loved art and English at school. She was a fantastic sketcher and had a love of music.<\/p>\n

The search began early after reports a 40-year-old man and his daughter had been caught in floodwaters.<\/p>\n

The pair were in a Toyota Camry sedan and managed to get out of the vehicle before it was swept away.<\/p>\n

The man was rescued just before 12:30pm on January 8 after being found clinging to a tree.<\/p>\n
