Police have taken over the search for a 32-year-old missing man, who reportedly was last seen leaving the Willy-T in the Bight off Norman Island on a boat tender late Friday night.
Pawel Kwiatkowski, a Polish engineer who had been working aboard the 154-foot mega-yacht Charisma, was reported missing to Virgin Islands Search and Rescue at about 10 a.m. on Saturday. A VISAR team responded to the scene, where initial queries with witnesses who last saw the man proved to be “suspicious,” said VISAR President Phil Aspinall. “Our enquiries made it all seem a bit suspicious, so we put in a call to the police,” the VISAR president said. “It’s now a police matter.” VISAR, Marine Police and a Blue Water Divers team partnered to comb the water surface, the ocean floor and surrounding shorelines, for two days of intensive searching. Mr. Aspinall said teams have searched as far as St. John, including several other surrounding islands and rocky outposts. Currently, a police investigation is underway, said Police Spokeswoman Diane Drayton. Police are continuing to interview crewmembers aboard the mega-yacht, which remained docked at Village Cay Marina as of press time. Charisma was scheduled to leave this weekend, but likely will remain in the territory while the investigation ensues, Ms. Drayton said.
