James de Brueys, a University alumnus and employee at The Chimes Restaurant, went missing in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday.
Chimes employee Erin Mikulak said de Brueys was lost at sea with three other people, including a pregnant woman, off the Marshall Islands where he was volunteering as an English teacher for young children, according to fellow Chimes employee Erin Mikulak.
Junan Nimoto, an official in the disaster response office of the Marshall Islands government, announced Sunday morning government officials had been unsuccessful in their search for the group, who never returned from a boat trip that typically lasts approximately 90 minutes.
As of Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard had been recruited to help in the search.
