Was Body of Missing Dangriga Fisherman Found?

Last Thursday, a woman shared her family’s deep concern when her brother, thirty-three-year-old Jeremy Mushlar, went missing while fishing alone near Tobacco Caye on Tuesday night. Mushlar had traveled to the small island to fish with three others who were in a separate boat. When they decided to return due to poor fishing luck, Mushlar reportedly chose to stay out longer in his dorey. He has not been seen since. Today, the family’s hopes were further crushed with the news that an unidentified body had been discovered. A.C.P. Romero stated that the body has yet to be identified.
