Cape Cod Officials Continue Search For Man Last Seen On Local Beach

HARWICH, MA — The search for a man last seen on a Cape Cod beach on Monday continued on Tuesday morning, officials said.

In what was the second day of searching for a man said to be in his 30s or 40s who was last seen on a jetty at Red River Beach, fire officials in Harwich flew a drone along the shoreline to Allen's Harbor but found nothing.

On Monday night, Harwich Police and Fire departments said they were on the scene at the beach looking for a person who "may" have been in the water. The man was last seen wearing black pants and a black sweater with white stripes.

He was last seen on the jetty at the beach around 6:15 p.m.

Fire officials said they received a call at 6:18 p.m. that they could no longer see the man standing on the jetty.

"A water rescue response was initiated bringing Fire Department, Police Department, the Harbormaster and the United State Coast Guard to begin the search," officials said.

A dive team was also activated for the search, starting an effort that included divers in the water around the jetty with officials searching the shoreline simultaneously.

The dive operation ended around 8:15 p.m., with today's drone search picking back up this morning.
