Water Search For Missing Kayaker Suspended

To continue the search for Maryan Lisovich after sunset would not increase the likelihood of finding him, a Coast Guard spokesman said.

  The Coast Guard was to continue searching for missing kayaker Maryan Lisovich, 23, of Lynn, until sunset Sunday — 7 pm. After that time the water search was to be suspended, Coast Guard spokesman Sean Carroll said at about 6 pm Sunday night. To continue searching for the kayaker after dark would not increase the chances that the Coast Guard would find and rescue him, the spokesman said. The maritime service went all out in its search for the missing 23-year-old from Lynn. The search started about 24 hours ago, on Saturday. Today, Sunday, the Coast Guard search operation included two MH-60 helicopters and a Falcon Jet. The service had a cutter and two other search and rescue boats in the operation.

Firefighters, police officers, the harbormaster and Coast Guard crews searched the shore and waters off Swampscott on Sunday afternoon for an hour and a half finding no sign of a missing swimmer.

  Reports of a possible missing swimmer in choppy waters at Eisman's Beach Sunday about 2 pm prompted a water, air and land search. The search was called off after 90 minutes when searchers found no evidence of a missing swimmer and received no report of anyone missing, said Swampscott Fire Capt. Remo Zimbaldi. A lifeguard at Eisman's Beach reported the possible missing swimmer, the captain said. A swimmer had been swimming off the beach from buoy to buoy. At one point the lifeguard looked out and did not see the swimmer, the captain said.
