Airman 1st Class Elijah R. Posana was found dead on Tuesday after he went missing two days earlier while swimming offshore.
According to an Air Force press release, Posana, 22, was on leave with his family and was swimming approximately 100-feet from shore at Surfside Beach near Freeport, Texas, when an individual reported seeing him being pulled by a rip current. Posana was described as last seen wearing a maroon shirt.
Watchstanders at the beach issued an urgent marine information broadcast, which led a Coast Guard Station Freeport 29-foot Response Boat-Small boat crew and a Coast Guard Air Station Houston MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to begin searching for Posana.
