Last week Blake brought us an update on Emilio Sala.  The Argentinian disappeared on a flight from France to Wales on 21st January 2010.  A piece of seat cover from his plane has now washed up on a beach in North West France.  The search had been called off but Lionel Messi and other footballers have donated money to keep the search going.

Thank you Blake for the update for this very puzzling and sad story.
