A two hour search for a Virginia teenager who disappeared in the East Pass off Norriego Point in Destin today ended when divers with the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office found the teen’s body around 6:15 p.m.
First responders rushed to the scene to begin a search after getting a 9-1-1 call for a distressed swimmer around 4:08 p.m.
Family members say they were not able to locate the boy after he slipped underwater and did not reappear.
The 14-year old was vacationing with family from Centreville Virginia and they had reportedly been at the beach for a couple hours before the tragic incident took place.
