BRISBANE, Australia (AP)- Searches of beaches in north Queensland state by police and volunteers had been unsuccessful in turning up any sign of an American couple who went missing from a scuba diving trip one week ago, police said Sunday. "Investigations are continuing but there has been no breakthrough," police spokesman Brain Swift said. The up-market tourist town of Port Douglas had been the base for a massive police and volunteer search for Thomas Lonergan, 33, and his wife Eileen Lonergran, 28, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The pair were among 26 recreational divers taken to St. Crispin Reef on the Great Barrier Reef last Sunday and were last seen when they entered the water mid-afternoon wearing wetsuits and scuba gear. The couple were apparently left behind by the dive boat "Outer Edge," which arrived back at Port Douglas at 5 P.M. They were not immediately missed and police were not alerted until Tuesday, almost 50 hours later. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
