The search was suspended for a New Jersey couple who went missing on a Barbados vacation last week when they rented a jet ski, according to reports.
Officials called off the search Sunday for Oscar Suarez, 32, and Magdalena Devil, 25, nearly a week after they vanished on the watercraft near Holetown Beach, NJ.com reported.
“The search was officially called by the Barbados Coast Guard at sunset on Sunday,” Roy Morris, press secretary for the Barbados prime minister, told the news outlet.
The Montclair couple was last seen around 2:30 p.m. June 24 renting the watercraft from an operator on the west coast of the Caribbean island, the Royal Barbados Police force said.
The jet ski rental operator became concerned when the pair didn’t return as scheduled at 2:55 p.m. and contacted authorities, who launched a search by air and water.
