Search for pair by Maui's fire department ends

The Maui County Fire Department ended its search for missing Hana residents Carl and Rae Lindquist, who may have been swept out to sea.

However, community members continued to search for the couple after the fire personnel ended their search yesterday.

Yesterday was the third day in the search for the couple, who disappeared after Thanksgiving dinner. They were last seen at about 9:30 p.m. The couple's badly damaged sport utility vehicle was found about 100 yards from the ocean in a stream bed.

The Fire Department searched yesterday by land and air and did not find any trace of the couple, a Maui County news release said.

The Lindquists had celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary two days before Thanksgiving.

Anyone wanting to assist in the community search can call Dawn Lono at 248-7723.
