According to a Myrtle Beach Police report, a woman said her father, McIntyre, went fishing around 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

McIntyre took his white Ford Ranger and his jon boat to fish, the report states. The daughter said he normally fishes north to Cherry Grove, but because they were staying further south, she didn’t believe McIntyre would travel that far.

Police tracked McIntyre’s phone to Kings Road near the Tanger Outlet mall south of North Myrtle Beach. Officers responded to the boat landing where they found McIntyre’s vehicle, according to police. The boat was not at the truck, but the boat seats were in the back of the vehicle.

The Horry County Coroner’s office was called to the boat landing Tuesday morning.
