The search for a missing South Carolina man, Edmond Bradley Solomon III, who disappeared during a cruise excursion in Cozumel, Mexico, has hit a dead end. Despite efforts by his family, local authorities, and the community, promising leads have led nowhere, and hopes of finding Solomon alive are fading. His family, including his daughter Savannah Miller, have been using social media to raise awareness and physically scouring the island in search of him.
Solomon, a retired nurse diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, was last seen on April 3 when a Royal Caribbean cruise ship stopped in Cozumel. He got off the ship, went to the bathroom, and vanished shortly after. Miller’s emotional plea on social media reflects the desperation and frustration that the family is feeling as the days pass with no sign of Solomon. They are seeking additional resources and support from the U.S. government and media to aid in the search efforts.
The family has mobilized a widespread awareness campaign, including sharing missing posters and reaching out to local and U.S. authorities for assistance. Missing Persons of America and other groups have also joined in the efforts to locate Solomon. Local news outlets like Conexión Urbana have covered the story, highlighting the search operations and the community’s support. The family is urging people to continue spreading the word and sharing their story to increase awareness and hopefully find Solomon.
Although the family has been coordinating with local authorities and initiating search efforts in Cozumel, the toll of the situation is becoming overwhelming for them. Despite the challenges, they are grateful for the kindness and support they have received from both the local community in Cozumel and friends and family in the U.S. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Mimi, Solomon’s wife, as she continues to care for others despite facing difficult circumstances.
Miller provided details about her father’s habits and behavior in hopes of aiding the search efforts. She described Solomon as walking fast, being anxious, and avoiding unfamiliar situations. The family is focusing on raising awareness and staying positive as they navigate through this difficult time. They are encouraging anyone with information or tips to contact Cozumel police and are grateful for the support they have received thus far. The search for Solomon continues, with hope that he will be found safe and reunited with his family.
