The search for a missing fishing vessel off the coast of South Addison has intensified, with local fishermen, the Coast Guard, and marine patrol covering over 900 miles of rugged coastline. The vessel, which was carrying Chet Barrett and his son Aaron, has not been located since it went missing. Chet and Melanie Barrett have been married for 36 years, and Aaron is their only son.

Despite extensive search efforts, including the discovery of an object in approximately 160 feet of water, the Coast Guard has suspended recovery operations for safety reasons. However, marine patrol will continue to supervise search efforts today to investigate the object further.

The fishing community is deeply affected by this incident, as it represents a significant tragedy for families involved in the industry. Local fishermen and Chet's nephew have been actively participating in the search, highlighting the strong bonds within the community during this challenging time. The ongoing efforts reflect the urgency and determination to find answers and support the Barrett family in their time of need.
