Dexter Sain and Curtis Herron, both 36, have been missing since they disembarked from East Chicago Marina in Indiana, where they were last seen by a friend on July 27, according to East Chicago police and the boaters’ families.
On the morning of July 27, Dexter Sain and Curtis Herron set sail on their new boat over the waters of Lake Michigan, probably to give it a test run, their loved ones believe, as the longtime friends from Chicago had little to no boating experience.
Sain and Herron, both 36, have been missing since they disembarked from East Chicago Marina in Indiana, where they were last seen by a friend on July 27, according to East Chicago police and the boaters’ families. The pair’s 30-foot Bayliner named Cindy Ann was seen departing from Pier C at about 8:28 a.m. and headed toward Illinois, before moving beyond the view of surveillance cameras.But not long after, their journey seemed to run into trouble. At 10:15 a.m.
“I still have questions,” said Curtis Herron’s younger sister, Tatiana. “What do you all do when someone is stuck out there and don’t have no money or anything to get the help they need? You just leave them out there?” The Lake County marine unit said it began searching for the boaters on July 29 after being notified they were missing. The Coast Guard was notified by the county sheriff on the morning of July 30 and began its own search and rescue efforts which were suspended Aug. 1 after two days.
Tatiana Herron said that she has had a difficult time getting in contact with the officials working on the search since her brother and Sain were reported missing. She added that she didn’t learn of the call for a private tow until reading a news article related to the search. “Where go longer is when the water is really warm and you have a really big search area. ... Sometimes those go longer, like cases in the Gulf of Mexico or off of Miami, Florida. ... Up here with cooler water and southern Lake Michigan, which is confined by the states’ boundaries, typically don’t go that long,” he said.
