HONOLULU — The search for a Washington woman whose husband couldn’t find her after spotting a shark while they were snorkeling in Hawaii was called off Friday.
The woman’s husband and others reported seeing a large shark about 50 yards from shore at Keawakapu Point in south Maui on Thursday, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The couple had been snorkeling when he saw a shark swim by but could not see his wife. It swam by several times before the man returned to shore and reporting his wife missing, the department said.
Rescuers searched from the water and from the sky until nightfall Thursday and resumed the search at daybreak.
