Only on fox, a threeday search in Delaware River is raising quite a few questions tonight. Our cameras were there as divers from the fbi and epa searched an area under the ben franklin bridge earlier this month. At one point they removed several things from the river bed but curiously enough the search remains shrowded a mystery. Dave schratwieser has tonights fox 29 investigates report. Reporter it was an underwater expedition worthy of the fbis elite dive team out of new york. Officials from the Environmental Protection agency. When you get those two agencies working together, undertaking some sort of investigation, usually its very big deal and its something to be concerned about. Reporter it went on in the chilly waters of the ben franklin bridge off Delaware Avenue for three days in early february. And despite this public deployment of manpower and high tech equipment, no one would say what the underwater search was all about. Everybody was very tight lip. Nobody would share any information. Which actually became even more concerning. Reporter only fox 29 cameras were there as fbi and epa investigators deployed a series of bowie in the water right near the launching ramp used by the duck boat rides. Cordoned off five to six areas with the bowie then on february 2nd, they put two divers in the water for hours on end. Searching the marked off areas while crews with hightech equipment watched from the docks opposite the race street peer. Is it somebody dumping something . Something that somehow got got washed into this inlet from some other portion of the river . Is it some infrastructure running under the river . Reporter Maya Van Rosen at the Delaware River keeper part of a network that acts as the watch dog agency for the Delaware River. The mid winter search surprised her. Its just very concerning that both the fbi and the epa had to team up to undertake this investigation. For thee days. For three days. Reporter fox 29 watched for two days as the divers combed the waters under the philadelphia side of the ben franklin, the dives appeared to be conducting an extensive underwater bridge search. At several points they surfaced with items that were turned over to a boat crew. The items were taken a shore and carried to a truck where members of the fbi Evidence Recovery Team and epa experts placed the items in evidence boxes. Its hard to know what it would be much its hard to know what it would be in this location. Reporter we called the fbis Philadelphia Office to ask about the presence of its highly trained dive teams and evidence Recovery Unit on the river. We were toll the fbi crews from new york were quote assisting the epa in the underwater operation. Fbi refused to comment further and directed us to the epas Region Three Office in center city. A spokeswoman there told us, she would look into it hours later she told fox 29 she could not comment. We also called the Delaware River Port Authority to ask them what they knew about the search that was going on underneath their bridge. The ben franklin. They told us they didnt know what the search was about and in fact they didnt even know it was going on until we called them. They tend to notify one another. They tend to be in communication with one another. So the fact that the drpa wasnt contacted by this does raise in questions. Reporter wily contacted the u. S. Coast guard station here in philadelphia. Theyve patro patrolled patrollr the ben franklin every day. We were directed to the coast guard offices in atlantic city. A spokesman there said the coast guard had quote no involvement in the search and could not comment either. It just raises some real red flags. Van roz zen says theres lots of issues on the delaware that bear watching. She was surprised no one would disclose what the search was all about. I hope that theyre successful in gathering the evidence they need to make the case against the individual or entity that is doing damage to the Delaware River that we all care about and depend upon. Reporter on wednesday, february 3rd, fbi dive team was still in the water accompanied by all the experts and that high tech equipment on the docks. The search ended later that day with those involved and the other agencies still tight lipped about the threeday operation. We watch dog the they will and safety of this river because so many people depend upon this river for drinking water, for footer, for recreation, for theyre jobs and our local economy.
