PINEY POINT, Fla. — The United States Coast Guard has suspended the search for a 69-year-old man who left on his boat in the Palmetto area, but authorities continue the search on land.

USCG said they were working with several agencies to search for Russell Trudeau, whose 17-foot boat was found adrift off Piney Point Monday afternoon.

According to the USCG, Trudeau’s boat was found on March 31 around 10 a.m. near Piney Point, which caused a coordinated response from the Coast Guard and local agencies.

According to the USCG, the search for Trudeau on the water was suspended due to new information, while Palmetto Police continued to search on land.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Palmetto Police Department at 914-721-2000
