The Fire and Rescue Department are still focusing search efforts near the river again, in hopes that Nora Anne would eventually return there.

Rescuers hoped that Nora Anne will try to find her way to the river as it is the only source of water within the area.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the teen is believed to have left the resort in Jalan Pantai only in her undergarments, as that was the last outfit she was seen sleeping in, according to statements from her parents.
