Ten-year-old Trinity Eslinger of Arkansas went missing June 12, 2025, after being swept away while swimming around 7:30 p.m. between Osteen Beach and Norriego Point in Destin, Florida, an area noted for strong tides and dangerous currents. Her mother reportedly tried to save her and an Aqua Alert was issued immediately. Over several days the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office was joined by multiple agencies and volunteers who searched roughly 250 square miles by air, sea and shore, including more than 40 dives and a community search organized by the United Cajun Navy.

By June 18 officials began scaling back the coordinated search, while regular patrols continued. Trinity’s family, supported by a GoFundMe campaign, remains hopeful for closure. If anyone saw Trinity that evening or has relevant information, please come forward.
