Among the missing are Lisbeth Neraas (54) and her son Marius Brustad (29). This is confirmed by Dagbladet by the family spokesperson, Håkon Stavrum.

– Ask for a miracle
The family asks for peace, but comes out with a joint statement to the press:
“It is an indescribably difficult and painful situation for family and friends that we are living now in relation to the landslide in Gjerdrum. Son and brother who together with their mother have unrealistically become victims of an event unthinkable for all. We miss to a very beloved, loving and caring mother, sister and daughter, as well as an energetic, caring and much loved brother. We are very close and well cared for by close friends. A big thank you to all who have sent messages of support and warm thoughts with great empathy.
Being exposed to this in your own home within a construction site shouldn’t be possible. We hope and pray for a miracle or two to happen, even if we are also realistic.
At the same time, we want to thank the search teams, crisis teams, police / emergency services and the rest of the emergency services for their efforts, and we hope that they will continue until the missing are found. At the same time, we want to send warm thoughts to other family members, ”the family writes.
Looking for survivors
At 12 am on Friday, the Police announced that the search began in the red zone of the landslide area.
The police stated in a press release at 4 pm that they still have to work hard and intensively in the future. The crews have made changes at work, but are continuing with all their might to find survivors.
All relatives are followed by representatives of the municipality as well as by the police and receive updates on the work on an ongoing basis.

Task leader Roger Pettersen has repeatedly emphasized that they work on the basis that there are survivors in the ruins and that they describe the work as a rescue operation.
– We focus fully on finding survivors. We have planned that we can find more survivors, but we are also prepared to find more dead, says Pettersen.
