The Coast Guard has suspended the search for a missing boater last seen fishing on St. Helena Sound, S.C.

Gregory Moss, 53, of North Myrtle Beach is missing.

Search and rescue controllers at Coast Guard Sector Charleston were notified by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources just before 9:30 pm, Thursday, of Moss' disappearance.

Moss was aboard a 14-foot fishing boat with one other person when it capsized.

The second person successfully swam to Ashe Island and was later picked up by another boater.

Moss was last seen attempting to swim ashore. He was not wearing a lifejacket.
