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.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
