Authorities in New Zealand say they fear a landslide may have swept away the rental van of two missing Canadian tourists, one of whom went to McMaster University.

The search continues for 25-year old Connor Hayes and 24-year old Joanna Lam. Lam is a graduate of the Mohawk-McMaster Radiation Sciences Program.

Part of the couple’s wrecked vehicle was found Monday in a gorge. More debris washed in on a beach several kilometres away. Police say a helicopter with heat-seeking technology has joined the search, as well as a canine unit.
