Authorities in Cayman Islands call off search for LV attorney

September 25, 2009 - 9:00 pm

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands -- Police in the Cayman Islands have called off a search for a 60-year-old tourist from Las Vegas who went missing during a diving trip.

Police identified him as Charles Lynn Titus.

They say he disappeared Monday while diving off the west coast of Grand Cayman with the Divers Down dive shop. He had been visiting the British territory with his wife.

Police spokeswoman Deborah Denis said Thursday that police are still investigating his disappearance but that nothing suggests foul play.

Titus, a local trial lawyer, released a self-published fiction book this year about a former assistant U.S. district attorney and former Navy Seal who relocates to Las Vegas after a family tragedy and finds himself battling the mob.

In a Sunday Review-Journal article about local self-published authors, he said "Vegas Diary: A Dish Served Cold," had sold 600 copies so far.
