St. Mary deputies ask for help finding Jerami Segura and April Comeaux

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office is asking the public for information about Jerami Segura and April Comeaux. Deputies said in a public notice checked Sunday, October 4, at about 2:18 p.m. Central that both were last seen Thursday, October 1. The notice said they and a dark-colored jet ski remained missing when checked; this is a time-stamped account, not a guarantee that their status has not since changed.

Deputies said they responded to a missing-persons report at 8:58 p.m. Friday, October 2. Segura's vehicle was found at the Cabot Boat Ramp. Investigators learned his shrimp boat had become disabled at an unknown location, and he was reportedly using the jet ski to reach the vessel in an attempt to tow it, according to the sheriff's office. The ramp is where deputies found a vehicle; the notice does not place either person or the disabled boat there.

The sheriff's office said its Marine Patrol contacted the U.S. Coast Guard and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and a coordinated search began at daybreak Saturday, October 3. Deputies said a skiff had been found but did not give its location. An update on the same official post, marked 7:40 p.m. without an explicit calendar date, said Leopard Bayou and Hog Bayou had been searched and the search was continuing. Those named waterways are not a verified last-known location or the entire search area.

Anyone with information about either person's whereabouts should call St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office dispatch at 337-828-1960, the official notice says. The sheriff's office website also lists that non-emergency number. Readers should check the original notice for later official changes.
