Lisbeth Neraas (54) and Marius Brustad (29):

Neraas and his son Brustad are among those still reported missing. According to RB, the son was on a Christmas visit to his mother when they were both carried away by the avalanche. The family has issued 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.
