The Collier County Sheriff's Office called off the search for 27-year-old Jamie Curtis after two days of searching the swampy areas near Golden Gate Estates.

The office sent out a tweet from its Twitter account around 2 p.m. Sunday stating, "CCSO has completed a comprehensive search with every available resource. The search efforts are suspended for today."

Krista Williamson, sheriff's spokeswoman, said the search will resume if they receive any clues that could lead to finding Curtis.

"Ground search and divers have done extensive search of the area and gone beyond the area, and so far they don't have any indication," she said. "At this time we're going to keep a small group of deputies in the area and the search can start back up" if there are any sightings of Curtis.

Curtis, who has Asperger's syndrome, was last seen Friday night between Immokalee Road and Jones Mining Road. According to a police report, he appeared paranoid when he asked his mother to pull the car over before he jumped out and went into the swamp about 8:30 p.m. Friday.

He is 6-foot-1, weighs 240 pounds, and has blond hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants, gray shoes and a blue shirt and had a camouflage backpack, which might contain clothes and food, according to the police report.
