Jack Glenn with his sister Katie who had searching day and night along the River Foyle for her brother
THE sister of Jack Glenn has paid a moving tribute to him as his remains were recovered this afternoon from the River Foyle.
Katie Glenn has spent every day at what the family called ‘Camp Jacko’ which became the focal point for the search operation for almost eight weeks.
The PSNI say they are awaiting formal identification of the body but the Glenn family are firmly convinced the remains are that of Jack.
His loving sister also thanked all the boat crews and volunteers who searched the waters and the land along the shore in the hope of finding Jack.
Katie wrote: “As I walk over the pallets from camp jacko for the very last time my emotions r everywhere, a feeling of joy my beautiful brother is out of that awful river but also such sadness as it’s really hit home now il never see your smart little smile again
