The search for Edmond Bradley Solomon III, a South Carolina man who went missing during a cruise excursion in Cozumel, Mexico, is becoming more challenging as promising leads turn into dead ends. Solomon, who suffers from frontotemporal dementia, was last seen on April 3 when he got off a cruise ship in Cozumel, went to the bathroom, and disappeared. His family, including his wife and daughter, have been using social media and working with local law enforcement agencies to search for him, but hopes of finding him are fading.
Solomon, known as “Brad,” was enjoying retired life with his wife Mimi after a long career as a nurse when he went missing. His daughter, Savannah Miller, has been pleading with the public to help spread awareness about her father’s disappearance. The family has been sharing missing posters and creating awareness campaigns on social media, hoping to generate more news coverage and assistance in the search efforts. Local news outlets and Facebook groups have also been assisting in spreading the word about Solomon’s disappearance.
The family’s search in Cozumel has been met with challenges, both emotionally and logistically. The ups and downs of potentially hopeful tips that lead to nothing have been taking a toll on the family’s mental state. Despite their exhaustion and discouragement, the family continues to work with local authorities in Cozumel and coordinate public awareness campaigns. They have also set up a fund to support Mimi, who has been through a lot in recent years between cancer and dementia diagnosis.
Authorities in Cozumel have been conducting search operations to locate Solomon, including flyovers and ground searches with the help of rescue dogs. The community, as well as the American community on the island, has shown solidarity and support for the search efforts. However, it is crucial for any civic action to be coordinated and supervised by expert authorities to ensure the safety of those involved in the search efforts. Miller has been urging people to continue sharing information about her father to increase awareness and hopefully lead to his safe return.
Miller has been providing specific details about her father’s habits and behavior to help with the search efforts. She described her father’s fast walking pace, tendency to focus on the ground while walking, and reluctance to accept help from strangers. Miller emphasized that despite appearing confident, her father is lost and scared, and unfamiliar people or situations can be intimidating for him. She has also asked for tips to be directed to the Cozumel police and for people in the U.S. to continue sharing information about her father to raise awareness and stay positive.
The family’s search for Solomon continues as friends and family rally support, both in Cozumel and the U.S. Despite the challenges and uncertainty surrounding his disappearance, the family remains hopeful and determined to find him. Their resilience and commitment to finding Solomon highlight the importance of community support and awareness in the search efforts. As the search continues, the family is counting on the public to help bring Brad home safely.
