A search is underway for a missing California college student who disappeared after canoeing in the Pacific Ocean, last known to be setting up clues for a treasure hunt he was organizing.
Hunter Nathaniel Lewis, 21, failed to return home Dec. 30. The California State University Long Beach student was last believed to have canoed near the Trinidad Harbor between 10 a.m. and noon, theAccording to Lewis’ family he left his Blue Lake residence at 8:30 a.m. to hide objects as a part of a treasure hunt he was organizing for friends, the sheriff's office said.
A broken piece of Lewis' 15-foot green fiberglass canoe washed ashore north of Elk Head on Saturday. An additional search of that area by deputies and the Coast Guard didn't yield any leads on Lewis' whereabouts., along with other agencies, in the Flatiron Rock area, northwest of Trinidad Head. Teams had determined it “necessary” to conduct an underwater search there based on information gathered and items found during searches of the Trinidad area, officials said.
“About two years, ago he decided he would start working on this epic treasure hunt for all his friends and family to participate in someday,” his father said. Hunter canoed into the ocean to deposit a treasure chest on Flatiron Rock, Corey said, but “there is a shallow, rocky reef just on the inland side of Flatiron that he did not know about."Lewis said searchers have found debris of the treasure chest on Trinidad State Beach. Among the debris was something precious to the Lewis family: a wooden box Corey's father gave to him.
