“At this time all search efforts have been suspended and have now transitioned to recovery efforts,” the Kitty Hawk Police Department said on Thursday. Johnson said that “wind, currents and other environmental conditions,” have made pinpointing a search area difficult. A hat belonging to the boy was found about two miles north from where he originally was swept away from, WMUR reported. A small memorial was set up on the beach by locals where notes, prayers and other messages were left for the family, WFXT reported. Please continue to join us in thought and prayer as we mourn with them this tragic loss.”
