Former USA Olympic Sailor Trevor Moore Missing, Coast Guard Suspends Search

The Coast Guard suspended its search for former U.S. Olympic sailor Trevor Moore on Saturday after the 30-year-old's 16-foot 49er dinghy was found unmanned in Dinner Key, Miami, two days prior.

Moore was reported missing after his belongings were found in the inflatable boat last Thursday, according to Evan Bleier of the Daily Mail, who added family and friends of the London 2012 competitor were still raising money for a volunteers' search.

Moore served as a member of the United States sailing team between 2009 and 2012. He had plans to compete for a place at the 2016 Summer Olympics before a shoulder injury curtailed his preparations.

The Coast Guard's decision to suspend the search suggests it has little hope in finding Moore. The official Twitter account of the U.S. Olympic Team tweeted its condolences for the missing sailor:

Since the 2015 Team USA sailing squad made an initial $1,000 donation, a GoFundMe page set up in the hopes of finding Moore has leaped closer to reaching its $50,000 target.

Bleier's report goes on to quote Coast Guard Captain Michael Long as saying, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones affected. Despite the tireless search efforts by multiple agencies and good Samaritans, we were unable to find Mr. Moore."

Despite the authorities putting an end to their official search, Moore's ex-teammates and family members, including fiancee Libby Patton, continue their efforts to find the former Olympian.
