WEST HARTFORD — A Connecticut man was reported missing while vacationing in the British Virgin Islands, police said.
Benjamin Wu, 29, of Middletown was last seen Saturday walking along Long Bay Beach in Tortola, police said.
There was no indication of foul play, said Jim Sandler, a Hartford lawyer and friend. He said the concern was Wu might have fallen into the water while climbing or hiking. Wu was a fearless hiker but could not swim, friends said.
Wu was due to leave Monday. Police said they have worked with British Virgin Island Customs and the U.S. Coast Guard to conduct an extensive search in the Long Bay and surrounding areas.
Wu books bands for the Webster Theatre, a small concert venue in Hartford, and was staying with other theater employees at the home of Justine Robertson, who owns the Webster.
"We've spent every waking minute, every waking second with this," Robertson said.
