Stephen LoweThe search in the Catlins area for missing Dunedin man Stephen Lowe, which was suspended yesterday, has resumed this morning. Yesterday, Clutha-Taieri area response manager Senior Sergeant Cynthia Fairley, of Balclutha, said suspending the "extremely hard'' search for Mr Lowe had left his family devastated. Snr Sgt Fairley said the family was highly appreciative of the search efforts, which included an intensive search of the McLean Falls area by an ''extremely committed team''. Mr Lowe's wife, Liz Carroll-Lowe, posted on social media about the search being called off. Catlins Search and Rescue, in an online post, said the search was ``extremely hard on everyone who attended to lend a helping hand''.
