Police are focusing their efforts to locate the suspect, who was known to Smith.
Detective Chief Inspector David Higham said they're "not ruling out the possibility that he may have entered the water".
The Landlady of the pub, Michelle Thomas, told Sky News that she had been preparing the Valentine’s dinner when she heard two loud bangs.
She said: "There was so much commotion — screaming, shouting, crying."
