Flurry of Activity in Newburyport Where Coast Guard Is Searching for Missing Man
The man reportedly went missing around 1:30 a.m. Saturday
The U.S. Coast Guard is searching off the coast of Newburyport, Massachusetts, after receiving a report of a missing man early Sunday morning.
The Coast Guard said there is an active scene in the area of the North End Boat Club. The boater went missing around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
Newburyport police identified the missing man as Kevin Mahoney, 33, of Newbury. His girlfriend reported to police around 7:30 p.m. Saturday that she had not seen Mahoney since early that morning.
He was last seen wearing a salmon colored golf/polo shirt, khaki shorts and tan boat-style shoes. He is 6'2", weighs approximately 200 pounds and has brown hair and eyes.
Mahoney's girlfriend said he was near the intersection of Water and Federal streets in Newburyport late Friday night and then was last seen by a member of the North End Boat Club on Merrimac Street around 1:30 a.m. Saturday, walking outside the club building. His cell phone and backpack were found aboard a boat owned by his family which is docked at the club.
Crews searched around the boat club Saturday night, and club management is providing its security camera footage to Newburyport police.
”We have witnesses who said he went down to the dock,” said City Marshal Mark Murray.
“Things happen on docks so that’s why we’re focusing here,” said Murray, who is responsible for law enforcement on the water in Newburyport. “We searched around the area. Our detectives are looking at video footage.”
The search is ongoing, with air and water assets being used in the search. Dive teams had been in and out of the water around the docks but have been pulled out of the water for now, because of difficult conditions. The water is said to be murky and the currents unsafe.
The search was set to resume at 1 p.m. Sunday during slack tide. That’s the period between high and low tides when currents are at their weakest.
No further information was immediately available.
Anyone with information or who has seen Mahoney is asked to call Newburyport police at (978) 462-4411.
