Police and volunteers expanded their search for Brett O’Grady to areas including the Ottawa River this past weekend after the 35-year-old man went missing early Thursday in the city’s east end.

Police said that they discovered new leads Friday evening that led to an enhanced search effort for O’Grady.

Volunteers and police searched the woods near the Aviation Parkway and the Ottawa River over the weekend and a dive team was called in to search the water and shoreline area.

A police drone has been surveying the area as well.
