A government employee has been reported missing off the coast of San Diego, prompting a search involving the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and Los Angeles Fire and Rescue, officials said Wednesday.
The missing person, identified only as a civilian employee from Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island (NALFSCI), hasn’t been heard from since Tuesday evening.
Officials say the employee went fishing and was expected to commute to work Wednesday morning but did not arrive.
The search is focused around San Clemente Island, about 70 miles west of San Diego. The U.S. Navy owns and operates the island.
The employee's name is being withheld while the search continues.
