Coast guard calls off search for journalist Andrel Harris
The Cayman Islands Coast Guard says it has formally suspended the search for missing Compass Media journalist Andrel Harris.
It noted that the decision has been taken as, following more than a week of intensive searches, it was unlikely that he would be found.
In a statement issued around 11:35am Thursday, the coast guard said, “In accordance with the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual, the suspension of activity indicates that all reasonable search areas have been thoroughly covered, all available resources have been utilised, and there is no longer a reasonable expectation of locating the missing person alive.”
Since Harris, 34, was reported missing on Wednesday, 4 June, sea, land and aerial searches have been carried out, mostly in the area of Pedro St. James, where he was last seen on CCTV footage around 9:30pm on 3 June.
Though the search, which over a week covered 12.25 square miles of open sea and coastline, has been formally suspended, Harris’ disappearance will continue to be investigated by police.
