Coast Guard suspends search for South Mississippi man
The search for a South Mississippi man who apparently fell off a fishing vessel in the Chandeleur Sound earlier this week has been suspended.
Coast Guard officials say that search was suspended around 8:21 Wednesday night.
The family of 55-year-old Lam Tra confirmed to WXXV that he fell overboard around 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
Search and rescue crews from New Orleans, Mobile, and Gulfport, along with other local agencies, were the ones who led the search for Tra before it was suspended.
