The U.S. Coast Guard continued a search Monday in the water near the Santa Monica Pier for a woman originally reported clinging to pilings.
A passerby informed lifeguards about 8:45 p.m. Sunday about a woman in the water, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Michael Pittman told City News Service.
As of about 11:30 p.m., divers from the Los Angeles County Lifeguards and Harbor Patrol and a helicopter were called off the search and the Coast Guard took over with its own helicopter, the 87-foot patrol boat Halibut and a 25-foot boat, said Petty Officer Richard Brahm.
The Coast Guard asked that anyone with information call 310-521-3815.
