Hunter Lewis is an aerospace engineering student from California (U.S), and that he has a pilot and diving license, but unfortunately he has been missing for more than seven days after leaving for a small island in the Pacific, to hide the last clue of the great adventure he was preparing for his family and friends.
The 21-year-old had been planning this treasure hunt for almost 2 years and thanks to the clue he left to complete the last stage of the search, his parents knew where to look for him. However, hopes of finding him were dashed by the dangerousness of the place.
Through a group of Facebook, which the father created to search for his son, a video was posted revealing the solution to the last mystery he had left behind: a 3D-printed heart-shaped key. The teeth of these keys were aligned with the rock formations rising from the waters of Trinidad Beach in Humboldt County, with Flatiron Rock islet in the heart.
“The riddle for the last treasure he gave us informed that he was where his heart was,” Corey Lewis recounted in the video. “And of course the key points directly to Flatiron Rock”he added. That small islet is very dangerous, since reefs visible only when the tide is low and whose existence was unknown to Hunter Lewis, reports RT.
That December 30, the young man went to that area and possibly entered the ocean by canoe in the morning, near the Bay of Trinidad. Rescue teams did not find him, but the search continues despite the local Fire Department reporting that since the disappearance of Hunter Lewis there has been a reported “Exceptionally high swell”.
“At this point it is a recovery operation, not a rescue operation”, indicated Corey Lewis in an interview for the Los Angeles Times. “I just hope to find my son to return to his mother and bury him”added. It all started with a family adventure in which the Lewis family had a lost treasure: “Now, he is that lost treasure”Hunter Lewis’s father said resignedly.
