VOLUNTEERS have joined police in the ongoing search for Tyler Doyle, who has been missing for more than three weeks.
Doyle, 22, vanished near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on January 26 and has yet to be found.
"We will continue the search for Tyler Doyle today as weather permits," the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) announced on Twitter Friday.
The agency explained that thunderstorms were in the day's forecast along the coast.
"Our officers will be searching by boat if weather remains favorable, along with the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office," SCDNR continued in the tweet.
SCDNR said that the volunteer rescue group Wings of Hope offered assistance "with sonar scanning and K9s."

"Our airplane flew yesterday along the coast from Wilmington, N.C., to the Little River area," the agency added.
Sunset Beach and Holden Beach police departments in North Carolina continued spending Friday searching beaches "along with family members and volunteers," SCDNR said.

"We are continuing to look on the water," it said in a tweet.
It stated that "an additional volunteer agency may provide search vessels in the coming days if weather allows."
When Doyle went missing in January, he was believed to have fallen from his vessel after it began taking on water.
Cops released very few details amid the ongoing search efforts and sick rumors have circulated online.
Lakelyn Doyle, Tyler's wife who is pregnant, revealed that she has since made her social media accounts private, The Post and Courier Myrtle Beach reported.
She said: “Due to the fact that strangers are saying things that are not even true at all, I will be making my posts private.
“As a pregnant woman 30 weeks pregnant, my stress level can’t be high for the sake of her.”
Tyler vanished more than three weeks ago but his family is not giving up hope.
