The Coast Guard continues to search for a Colorado woman days after the dinghy she was on capsized after she left a bar in Key West.
Jewel Hammond is in his early thirties, the Coast Guard said, and was last seen exiting the Schooner’s Wharf Bar on William Street in the southernmost city around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
She was with a man on the dinghy who reported her missing after it overturned near Mule Key, a small island off the coast of Key West.
A Coast Guard spokesman did not name the man, just calling him “the reporting source.”
According to her Facebook page, Hammond lives in Denver. A message on her husband’s Facebook page asking for comment was not immediately answered Friday night.
The man, Ben Fisher, urged his friends to pray for his wife in a Facebook post on Thursday.
“She was visiting her father in the Florida Keys and was on a boat that capsized. She’s been missing for 36 hours. Please, I need the prayer army now,” Fisher wrote.
Hammond is described as being 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 110 pounds. When she left Schooner’s Wharf, she was wearing a black tank top and red flannel shirt, according to the Coast Guard.
Anyone with information on Hammond’s whereabouts is asked to call Coast Guard Sector Key West at (305) 292-8727.
