Man Missing After Pulled Into Ocean By Turtle

A graduate student from the University of Central Florida remains missing Saturday after he was pulled underwater by a large sea turtle.

Officials said Boyd Lyon, 35, vanished Thursday afternoon about three miles north of the Sebastian Inlet and 400 yards out to sea.

The student was apparently tagging turtles as part of a UCF research project.

The Coast Guard from the Fort Pierce, Fla., station is conducting the search with assistance from the Brevard County sheriff's helicopter.
