Father-of-four identified as man dragged away into sea after going missing

A group of children were enjoying a swim with their father, Dan Cojocea, at Mary Ellis Beach in Australia on Friday afternoon. However, things took a turn for the worse when they were caught in a strong rip current. Luckily, rescuers were able to save the children, but unfortunately, Cojocea himself went missing. His family is now desperately hoping for a miracle and holding onto the belief that he will be found safe.

Cojocea, a father of four from Roxby Downs, South Australia, was last seen near the beach around 4 PM. Despite a full-scale search operation involving helicopters, drones, boats, and ground crews, he has been missing for over 24 hours now. His sister, Camelia Cantell, remains optimistic and is urging anyone with information to come forward and help in the search.

In an interview with the local press, Cantell expressed her unwavering faith in her brother's safe return. She believes that he may have just hurt himself and is waiting to be found. She also mentioned that he loves to tell stories, so they can't wait to hear about this adventure once he is back. Cantell described her brother as a funny and fantastic man, who is loved by his family and friends.

The police have cautioned beachgoers to be careful of the weather and swimming conditions along the Southern Ocean coast. Superintendent Paul Bahr explained that the winds near Mary Ellis Beach were strong, causing the waves to be high and powerful. He also emphasized that despite the challenging conditions, they are not giving up hope yet.

Bahr also added that the coastal area, located about 250km from Adelaide, is part of the Southern Ocean and is subject to all the risks that come with being in the ocean. He urged people to be cautious and stay vigilant while enjoying the beach. Meanwhile, Cojocea's family and friends are holding onto hope and praying for his safe return. Let's all hope for a positive outcome in this distressing situation.
