Search suspended for missing Li -hue fisherman
WAILUA — The search for a LThu`e fisherman reported missing Saturday was suspended
Monday afternoon following a three-day, multi -agency effort.
Darall Pascua, age 55, is being reported as Kaua`i's sixth drowning for 2018.
According to a preliminary report, Pascua was standing on the reef in waters off of
Marine Camp, near the Wailua Golf Course, while attempting to retrieve a fishing net about 50
yards from shore. A friend on shore lost sight of him and called 911 shortly before 9:30 a.m. on
Saturday.
Pascua could not be located despite a three-day air, land, and sea -based search with a
team of rescuers including Kauai firefighters, lifeguards, police, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Police do not suspect foul play in Pascua's disappearance.
