The family of a missing paddleboarder in Miami is reaching out to Garmin, the maker of the watch he was wearing, to help access his location data. Luciano Mercenari, 29, disappeared while spearfishing earlier this week, leaving his family desperate for answers.
Mercenari, described as a skilled paddle boarder and fisherman, was last seen on an aqua-and-orange paddleboard in Key Biscayne. His paddleboard and belongings were found offshore, sparking a search effort by the US Coast Guard and concerned family members.
In a heartfelt plea shared on TikTok, Mercenari’s cousin Allegra Jacchia asked for the public’s help in locating him. The family’s worry is mounting as time passes without any news of his whereabouts.
As they await answers, the family is hoping that Garmin will assist in accessing the GPS data from Mercenari’s watch to help narrow down his location. Their plea for assistance highlights the importance of technology in search and rescue efforts, especially in situations where time is of the essence.
