The Belize Coast Guard has called off the search for American tourist Alison MacKenzie. Efforts to locate the 48-year-old who disappeared from Rendezvous Caye ended on Tuesday evening after a widening of the search area.

According to Lieutenant Roque Canul, that’s because Coast Guard policy dictates that after 72 hours, the chance of finding Mackenzie alive is nil. He added that those chances were worsened by the particular weather conditions that the area experienced throughout the week. 

As we’ve told you The Belize Police Department received an extension of resources for their search from the F.B.I., and those search efforts continue.
