Snorkel incident search in Cheviot Beach scene
The Holt Report details a prolonged search for Mr Holt at Cheviot Beach starting December 7 1987. Police and diverse agencies coordinated field operations with divers helicopters and boats under harsh seas and tides. No trace found as weather and undertow hampered underwater efforts and the search continued into January 1968.

Terrific powers of endurance amid Cheviot Bay search
Police search days after Mr Holt disappeared near Cheviot Bay Beach involved 8 helicopters, extensive patrols, and a shared effort with local fishermen and Portsea Sorrento authorities. Investigators mapped search patterns, noted strong westerly winds, undertows, and underwater caves as factors. Local witnesses and experts offered opinions on tides, currents, and likely locations bodies might drift, with ongoing efforts to locate any remains.
