By Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard says a a 25-year-old Portland man who took a nap and was trapped by the rising tide is missing in the ocean south of Cannon Beach.
Sokhak Peng disappeared about 1:30 p.m. Sunday, and the Coast Guard searched for him for more than three hours. Petty Officer Victoria Caloca says that Peng and his companion, Deanna Feey, took a day trip to Arch Cape, hiked to the rocks at low tide and took a nap. By the time they awoke, the tide had moved in, and their path to the mainland was submerged. A resident along the coast called authorities. A Coast Guard helicopter responded and lifted Feey from the rocks. Caloca says Feey told her rescuers that Peng struggled against the current before disappearing. |
