LATEST: The search for two firefighters who went missing during a fishing trip off the coast of Florida last week will be suspended at sundown, officials announce.
Jacksonville, Florida, firefighter Brian McCluney and Fairfax, Virginia, firefighter Justin Walker never returned after launching off the coast of Port Canaveral, near the Kennedy Space Center, on Friday, according to U.S. Coast Guard officials.
Search and rescue teams continued to look for the pair on Thursday, but U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Mark Vlaun told reporters at a news conference that the search would conclude at sundown and not extend into an eighth day. Because of the strength of the Gulf Stream, the search area currently exceeds 105,000 square miles -- from Florida to several hundred miles off the coast of New England, Vlaun said, adding that officials are no longer able to look for the men with a"probability of success."Searchers were not able to find any additional evidence after a fishing bag that belonged to McCluney was found by a civilian about 50 nautical miles east of St.
"We just have to continue to pray alongside the family that we learn something going forward that will allow us to respond again," he said.

Financial Planners Suggest Spending One Evening Each Week Ripping Apart Walls, Floorboards In Search For CashCHICAGO—Saying that home prospecting can be “a simple, low-effort method of exercising financial foresight,” the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors published a report Monday suggesting readers spend one evening ripping apart the walls and floorboards of their homes each week in search of hidden cash, jewelry, or other valuables. “We strongly recommend scheduling time to pry up floorboards with a crowbar and peering around in your joists for any fungible goods, or perhaps sledgehammering holes in your walls to search for lost Rembrandts or long-forgotten bearer bonds,” said NAPFA CEO Geoffrey Brown. “While this financial technique can result in solid earnings, we advise against any single-element investment plan: Homeowners should also be digging for jars of buried pre-war silver dollars in their backyards.” The report also strongly advised residents of coastal areas to consider scuba dives to shipwrecks in search of sunken doubloons or jewels.
