COCHECTON — Selina Hoheusle would be turning 60-years-old on August 8th. In June of 2004, she left her residence at the Narrowsburg Home for Adults and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

When snorkeler Bob Fialla found bones in the Delaware River near Skinners Falls recently, he turned them into the Park Service even though he felt confident they belonged to a deer. Out of an abundance of caution, the New York State Police Underwater Recovery Unit searched the surrounding area where Hoheusle was known to visit just to make sure nothing was out of place.

It was business as usual on Friday morning at the Skinners Falls campground. A group of men visiting from New York City rented a raft and started paddling down the river. People lounged in the calm waters on inflatable tubes while children splashed along the shoreline. Underneath the bridge that traverses the Delaware River, however, it was serious business for the group of State Police divers.

“We covered the entire area and can say that we searched it from one side to the other,” said Senior Diver Kevin Gardner, a New York State Trooper who is currently assigned to the Kingston Barracks. The divers searched along rope lines that were attached to buoys and held in place by weights. They methodically moved the lines up as they searched the riverbed in a grid pattern.

Gardner said they usually dive in some of the less clean sections of the Hudson River, sometimes where visibility is only a few inches away from your face. “This is some of the cleanest water we've dived in,” he said.

Nothing out of the ordinary was found on Friday, but authorities are not giving up. “We speak for those who can't speak for themselves,” said State Police Senior Investigator James Post.

Despite the case being 15-years-old, Post said there could still be someone out there who knows something. “Sometimes it just takes hearing about it again to jog someone's memory,” he said.
