Here is the latest official update from Mikey’s family, via Shari Bondy. “Please refrain from calling & messaging [them directly] for updates as everyone has a lot going on & respect the family’s privacy in this difficult time.
‘First of all, we want to thank the community of Bahía Asunción, everyone that has generously donated, the Mexican Navy, and Mikey’s vast network of friends and fishermen that have been incredibly supportive and helpful during this very stressful time. The outpouring of support really says a lot about Mikey and his impact. Also, we would like to apologize for the lack of information and updates from this GoFundMe so far and we appreciate your patience.
We hope you understand that our priority has been to coordinate our efforts directly to search so far and navigate a very chaotic situation we never thought we’d be in, as well as support each other as a family. We’ve had dozens of local boats in the water in coordination with the Navy and hired private planes to provide aerial support for this search, as well as ground searches along the coast. With that said, there has been a lot of activity on social media, which just goes to show how widely loved Mikey is, but much of that information is speculative and potentially confusing to everyone eager to know what’s going on.
Our family has been actively co-leading the local response alongside the Mexican Navy and community organization. Yesterday, Mikey’s older brother and Dad arrived in Bahía Asunción to a loving embrace by the locals and have met with the Navy’s leadership this morning. During which, we have received additional details about Mikey’s disappearance from the Navy, which we cannot share publicly. The Navy is going to continue their search in the same manner today as they have since his disappearance, however, local teams are decreasing the number of personnel on the water and have started combing all local beaches.
Unfortunately, given the information provided to our family this morning by the Navy, the nature of the search may change soon. Again, thank you for all the love and support. Today and everyday, stay positive’”
