Dauphin Island West End Beach

 

The search for a University of Southern Mississippi student who went missing Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico has been suspended by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Crews searched for Robert Brent, 20, of Yazoo County, Mississippi for nearly 1,800 square miles. A friend reported Brent missing after he disappeared while swimming off the southern shore of Dauphin Island.

The search team was made up of the Coast Guard and local authorities that used aircrafts, boats and teams combing the shore.
