Coast Guard resumes search for missing Charlotte business owner who disappeared on fishing trip
The U.S. Coast Guard has resumed its search for a Charlotte business owner who went missing off the North Carolina coast on Saturday after his boat was found near Wrightsville Beach, officials said.
Jeffrey Kale, 47, went fishing in the Atlantic Ocean on April 6, but his boat never returned to shore and Kale's family hasn't heard from him, according to Oak Island Police. The Coast Guard told WECT-TV that Kale's boat was found more than 80 miles off the coast of Wrightsville Beach on Tuesday. No one was on board the vessel.
The search to find Kale has begun again after it was initially suspended Monday evening. The U.S. Navy is now assisting the Coast Guard in the search.
Kale was last seen around 4 p.m. on Saturday on his 32-foot Cape Horn boat with hull number NC4431FA.
