Search For Missing Boaters Suspended

Posted: Updated:

CHICOTEAGUE, Va. - Just off the coast of Chincoteague, the US Coast Guard has suspended the search for those two missing fishermen.

This all began Wednesday, when emergency crews responded to a distressed fishing vessel east of Assateague Island just after 10:30 AM, in the morning.

They were able to rescue one man by air, who they flew to PRMC. Officials had picked their search up again this morning, with no sign of the missing men.
