Rescuers have called off the marine search for a missing father and his teenage son after they failed to return from a fishing trip on the NSW south coast. The search for Nelson Chan, 47, and 17-year-old Joshua was suspended on Thursday afternoon after extensive efforts across three days, NSW Police said in a statement.
Their family raised the alarm when they had failed to return at 3am. Their fishing gear was recovered but there had been no sign or communication from them before the search was suspended about 1.30pm on Thursday. “We are assuming they have entered the water ... no one has actually seen it occur, but given the location of the fishing gear and the lack of communication, that’s the most likely scenario,” NSW Police Superintendent Craig Ireland said on Tuesday.
