LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - With seven crew members still missing as of Friday, search efforts led by Blake Matthew, director of field operations for the United Cajun Navy, have brought them to Cameron Parish coastlines.
“Basically, they’re tracking the debris field, and usually, if you have something like this happen, if bodies are unaccounted for, you’ll find them near that debris field. So as of last night, the debris field was near Pecan Island,” said Matthew.

Blake Matthew with the United Cajun Navy says they have maps set up so drivers know where to go, and after nearly two weeks since the lift boat disaster off the coast of Port Fourchon, items from the Seacor vessel have been found further and further west.
