Cody Bayer, a 14-year-old boy, disappeared on September 25, 2024, after being reported swimming at Jacksonville Beach in Jacksonville, Florida. Multiple agencies — Jacksonville Beach Police, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Coast Guard — mounted a coordinated air and marine search with lifeguards and helicopters.

Searchers faced rough sea conditions and high rip current warnings, which hampered efforts. No trace of Cody was found and the operation shifted from search to recovery before it was suspended. Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue continues efforts to locate him.
