The mother of a United States Navy servicemember has returned to Florida after Waukegan police suspended the search for her son this week, saying in a Facebook post that she will never give up searching for the 21-year-old.
“My son was an exceptional young man willing to die serving and protecting his country,” she said. “He should have been able to safely walk down a street, no matter how ‘preppy’ he looked.”“I got you my baby boy,” she said. “I will never stop looking for you. I live and breathe for you.”
Surveillance footage from the scene shows Gray on the ground after talking to a group of people. At one point, someone appears to grab his wallet, but then throws it back at him. "The problem is with the cold weather right now, and the cold temperatures in the water," Chastain said."If somebody does go into water, they're not coming up right away," adding that in colder temperatures, a body could remain under water longer due to how body gases are released."It may be days or weeks before the body would come back up," he said."That's a factor for the water as well as the currents," he said.
"It wasn't until some days later that they had some information that they uncovered that determined that he was in fact in Waukegan the early morning hours of [March 18]," Waukegan Deputy Chief Brian Mullen said during an update Thursday.did learn of Gray's disappearance, Mullen said they"jumped into action almost immediately" and began a search of areas where he was last seen.
"We received some more video down here at the lakefront from some of the businesses at the marinas that were showing Séamus right on the water's edge," Mullen said."And so we focused our efforts searching the water again today.""We know he's in excellent shape, and we're very hopeful that maybe he could be out there someplace," Mullen said.
