Search teams were operating out of the Main Street Boat Ramp but had to suspend the search around 10 p.m. due to weather and dark conditions, but planned to resume the search Friday morning. 

CCSO deputies and officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission helped with the search and the investigation has been handed over to FWC. 

Justino told News4Jax that crews are concerned about heavy storms affecting the search.
