A 36-year-old Stockton man is missing after it was reported he possibly entered the water at Tunitas Creek Beach south of Half Moon Bay early Thursday, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
This Thursday at approximately 5:00, officers responded to a call in the Tunitas Creek Beach area reporting a male person in the water and looking distressed.
Upon arrival, officers contacted the reporting parties who said that at approximately 4:00, one of their friends walked away while they were on the beach and did not return.
The missing person was identified as Florentino Suan Pasco Jr. of Stockton, California. Friends were unable to locate Florentino and believed he had gone into the water.
The Sheriff's Office and allied agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard and San Mateo County Harbor Patrol, dispatched and deployed various search and rescue resources, including the USCG helicopter, rescue boat and SMSO drone.
However, they reported that "all efforts to locate Florentino were exhausted and he was not located".
Authorities have appealed to anyone with information about this incident to call the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Anonymous Tip Line at 1-800-547-2700.
