<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">PORTSMOUTH, Va. — The Coast Guard suspended the search for a missing teenager off Gloucester Point, Virginia, at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, July 22, 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Coast Guard began searching when Sector Hampton Roads watchstanders in Portsmouth were notified at about 4:40 p.m. Friday, July 21, 2017, that a 13-year-old boy went missing while swimming with family members at Gloucester Point Beach.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Coast Guard assets involved in the search were an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, a 29-foot Response Boat-Small crew from Station Milford Haven in Hudgins, Virginia, and the Coast Guard Cutter Flying Fish crew, homeported in Little Creek, Virginia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Coast Guard’s search encompassed 44 square miles over a 13-hour period.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also searching were crews from the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office, York County Fire Department, Abingdon Fire Department, Gloucester County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, Virginia Marine Police and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“The decision to suspend a search is a difficult one to make,” said Coast Guard Capt. Rick Wester, commander, Sector Hampton Roads. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the boy’s family during this difficult time.”</span></p>
