Mexico’s navy located the boat of a missing American sailor off the country’s southern coast, but the Maryland man who had been piloting it solo wasn’t found, authorities say.
A plane had reported spotting a boat similar to the description of Lawson’s on July 23 about 320 nautical miles south of Acapulco. The navy sent boats to the area, but it wasn’t until Thursday night that they found it.
His wife, Jacqueline Lawson, told local media outlets that on July 9, he had sent her a message saying he was having mechanical problems and the motor was losing power. Three days later, he told her a storm had knocked out his wind generator and he would try to return to Acapulco. The last satellite positioning message received for the Defiant was July 13.
