Authorities have suspended the search for a woman missing after
swimming from a boat in a coastal North Carolina sound.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported that the Coast Guard
said Sunday it had called off the search for 26-year-old Leah
Kathleen Bland of Greenville. The woman was swimming from an
18-foot boat with another woman Saturday night near Poplar Branch.
Crews searched through Sunday afternoon until the search was
suspended.
Petty Officer Jason Frivance of the Coast Guard said the women
didn't anchor the boat, which drifted away in a northeast wind. The
woman who survived said she swam for an hour to catch the boat and
didn't see her friend when she looked back.
