The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing boat has been located, but the man believed to be on board is still missing in the waters near Dauphin Island.
Officials confirmed a 22-foot MayCraft vessel has been found. However, Travis White, who was believed to be the only person aboard, has not yet been located.
Search efforts are currently focused on the north side of Dauphin Island, west of the Dauphin Island Bridge and north of Jeremiah Denton Airport, according to reports.
Multiple agencies are assisting in the search, including the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Police Division and Daphne Search and Rescue, alongside the Coast Guard.
Authorities say additional Coast Guard boats and aircraft will continue searching through the night and resume again at first light if needed.
White was last heard from around 3 p.m. when the vessel was reported in the Mobile Bay area. The boat was later reported overdue when it did not return as expected.
Anyone with information about White’s whereabouts is asked to contact U.S. Coast Guard Sector Mobile at 833-MOB-USCG.
