A search is underway for three people and a fishing vessel off the coast of Georgia.
The U.S. Coast Guard announced Saturday it was looking for "an overdue 31-foot fishing vessel" and its crew, identified as Dalton Conway, Caleb Wilkinson and Tyler Barlow. The owner of the boat, named Carol Ann, told the Coast Guard he hired the crew for a fishing trip, but was concerned as it had been nearly a week since last communication and the crew was overdue for return, according to a press release.
The Coast Guard was looking 80 miles offshore Brunswick in its last updated.
There have been attempts to communicate with the crew via radio with no results. The Coast Guard received a report from someone who believes he saw "a vessel matching the description of the Carol Ann on Wednesday," according to the release.
Multiple Coast Guard units are involved in the search, as is the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
