Jesus Chico, a 62-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen on November 4, 2021, in Bahia Honda Key, Florida. He is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with short, thick brown hair, brown eyes and was clean-shaven when he disappeared. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is the primary investigating agency; the Coast Guard searched the area before suspending the search on November 8, 2021.

Reports indicate Chico launched a 35-foot vessel with twin engines from Bahia Honda and may have experienced an unknown water-related emergency in the waters between the Florida Keys and Cuba. The Coast Guard Investigative Service filed a report on November 5, 2021. The case remains open under Monroe County Sheriff’s Office case number MCSO21OFF008138.

If anyone has information about Chico’s movements on or after November 4, 2021, or about the launched vessel, contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
