Search underway for missing shrimp boat captain in Tampa Bay

Tampa police are searching for a missing shrimp boat captain, Curtis Lee Cowling, after his boat, the "Miss Jordi," was found sunken off Causeway Boulevard. Cowling, who lived on the boat, has not been located, and it is unclear if he was on board when it sank. Search efforts are currently hindered by the thousands of gallons of diesel fuel leaked by the boat, making it unsafe for dive teams to search the area. Authorities are working to resolve the hazmat situation to resume search operations.
