Crews search for woman who walked into ocean, disappeared

U.S. Coast Guard and Santa Cruz Fire search crews worked into the early hours of Monday morning, looking for a woman last seen walking into the ocean at the city’s main beach.

A Coast Guard spokesperson said the woman was in “emotional distress” and wrapped in a blanket when she entered the surf Sunday.

Witnesses called 911, but lost sight of her.

Search teams called off their search around 2:00 a.m. Monday. They will resume their operations later Monday morning.
