Coast Guard calls off search for missing helicopter off Alaskan coast

The Coast Guard says it has called off its search for a missing helicopter in waters off Alaska piloted by a health chief accused of sexual misconduct.

Andy Teuber, 52, was reported overdue by his family after he failed to arrive in Kodiak, Alaska, after taking off two hours earlier in Anchorage.

“After an extensive search with our available assets resulting in inconclusive findings, it’s with a heavy heart that we have to suspend this search pending any new information,” said Commander Matthew Hobbie, the Coast Guard search and rescue coordinator.

“I offer my deepest condolences to those affected by this incident.”
