Could missing Jesse Farber be at the bottom of a mine air shaft 1,100-feet deep?

A Canadian company has stepped forward to offer free use of specialized equipment to find out, and rescue teams are willing to spend $1,300 to make it happen.Northeast Search and Rescue announced Wednesday that use of a special rescue robot has been offered free of charge."A new very high-tech robot from the Canadian company Inuktun InCommand Robotics is being donated for the newest attempt to reach the bottom," states the organization's website.However, shipping will cost $1,300 due to the weight of heavy cases and 1,600 feet of cable, monitors and the robot. The equipment would arrive on a 600-pound pallet.NESAR has made it clear that the mission is exploratory in nature."Personnel will be heading back to a mine shaft near Tamaqua, PA to look for the possible remains of Jesse Farber," states the website.Farber called his girlfriend in great distress on Aug. 11, and then vanished.He is believed to have made the phone call from the woods of Sharp Mountain to the rear of Tamaqua Area High School.While news of continued searching buoys the spirits of Farber's family, they couldn't help take note of somber wording."This is extremely hard for me to share," wrote Farber's mother, Norma Jean Fritz of Jim Thorpe, on her Facebook page on Wednesday."With the word 'remains' … the word 'IF' is also used. My heart is breaking."However, Fritz acknowledges that each step in the process is critical and serves a purpose."This is only to rule out the possibility of my son being in that air shaft. At that time only, can we lead our investigation in a definite other direction," she said.A fundraising campaign has been established online to defray shipping costs of the robot.Those wishing to donate can do so through PayPal under the NESAR Jesse Search Fund.
