Search Continues for L.A. Fisherman
The search resumed Tuesday for a Los Angeles man who authorities believe may have fallen into the sea while fishing in the Point Mugu area last Thursday.
After a one-day hiatus due to choppy seas, divers, a helicopter and a boat searched from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. around Mugu Rock, the area where Jin Hun Kim’s car was found abandoned, said Sheriff’s Sgt. Earl Matthews.
Kim was last seen by his wife when he left to go fishing on the Ventura County shores Thursday afternoon. The search began about 1 p.m. Friday when California Highway Patrol officers found his car.
A camper in the Point Mugu area told authorities last Friday he saw a man matching Kim’s description.
Matthews said the search would continue today and the effort would be reevaluated if the man was not found.
“There is a period after which searching becomes futile,” he said.
