Update on Search and Rescue Continues for Missing Person at Sea off East End Coast
RCIPS and the CICG continue air and sea search efforts today Thursday 26 November to locate the missing male who jumped overboard on Tuesday 24 November, with negative results. Due to the elapsed time over the past 30 hours, rough sea conditions, sea current patterns and water temperature being experienced across the Cayman Islands, unfortunately the search and rescue operation has transitioned into a search and recovery operation as of this morning Thursday 26 November.
The Office of the Ombudsman is overseeing matters in the investigation potentially involving the serious harm of a member of the public who had been in recent contact with the RCIPS.
The RCIPS continues to seek the assistance of the public to locate and identify this missing male who is described as being tall, dark-skinned with long dreadlocks, wearing shorts, and believed to be known as “Blacks” or “Paul”. Anyone with information about this person and incident is asked to contact the RCIPS Major Incident Room (MIR) at 649-2930.
Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via our Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or via our website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Miami-based call centre of Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS), or online.
All persons detained from the suspicious vessel remain in custody and have been tested for COVID-19 as part of COVID-19 protocols, with negative results. The investigation into the importation of the drugs continues.
