August 11, 2017: The Search Begins
When they didn’t return at the scheduled time and the hours passed, Stobbe, Wall’s boyfriend, began to worry. Finally at 1:43, he contacted the authorities to report her missing, and the search immediately began for the submarine.
The search lasted for hours, and the UC3 Nautilus wasn’t found until late morning when it was first sighted in Køge Bay at 10:30 by Drogden lighthouse. The Coast Guard sent boats out and reached it by 11:00.
