\nNarragansett, R.I. — March 13, 2006 — The U.S. Coast Guard and law enforcement agencies from around the state continue to search for three 溏心vlog免费B站 students in the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. The Coast Guard plans an active search until tomorrow morning, although unusually heavy fog has precluded continuation of the air search this evening (3\/13\/2006). <\/p>\n


\nState agencies and small rescue boats will remain in the area and continue the search. As the water temperature is 40 degrees, the Coast Guard has said that survivability is limited. <\/p>\n


\nAll from Rhode Island, the missing students have been identified as Geoffrey M. Wilkes of Glocester, Daniel P. Donahue of Glocester, and Fandia Shloul of Pawtucket. The University is providing counseling for family members and friends. <\/p>\n


\nAt 4 a.m. a 溏心vlog免费B站 security officer heard voices on the water while patrolling in the area of the University\u2019s research vessel, the Endeavor. The security officer called to the group, but could not see the individuals because of thick fog. <\/p>\n


\nThe security officer called 溏心vlog免费B站 and Narragansett Police, who notified the Coast Guard, which began the search at 5:30 a.m.<\/p>\n


\nPolice said the fishing vessel Relentless, which was traveling back to Quonset, reported a hazard to navigation, possibly a piece of dock.<\/p>\n


\nPolice said the students were at a small party at a Bonnet Shores home in Narragansett when they left at about 2:30 a.m. They left in a small boat equipped with two oars, but no lifejackets. Police said friends attempted to prevent them from leaving.<\/p>\n


\nThe Coast Guard located an empty boat at about 5:50 a.m.<\/p>\n


\nSince dawn, the Coast Guard has searched the waters of the West Passage, and it deployed three small boats. A 41-foot vessel from the Castle Hill station in Newport and a 47-foot vessel from Pt. Judith are also part of the search. A Coast Guard helicopter from its air station on Cape Cod also joined the search.<\/p>\n


\nNarragansett Police joined the search with their patrol boat.<\/p>\n


\nThe Rhode Island State Police have deployed a boat equipped with sonar, and a dive team, while the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Police have three boats, one equipped with sonar in the search as well.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 Ocean Engineering Professor Malcolm Spaulding, an expert on ocean currents, has also provided computer models to assist in the search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
