CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Coast Guard continues to search for an overdue 31-foot fishing vessel and its three crew members, Saturday, 80 miles offshore Brunswick, Georgia.
Missing are Dalton Conway, Caleb Wilkinson and Tyler Barlow.
On Friday, Coast Guard Sector Charleston watchstanders received a report from the owner of the fishing vessel Carol Ann stating he hired a crew of three people that failed to return on Wednesday as scheduled. The owner stated the crew extends fishing trips to maximize their catch but was growing concerned due to their last communication with the crew being six days ago.

Watchstanders received a report from a good Samaritan who stated he may have seen a vessel matching the description of the Carol Ann on Wednesday.
Involved in the search are:
