DAVENPORT >> Authorities on Tuesday identified 51-year-old Peter Koci of Truckee as the sea glass collector who was reported missing Saturday at Davenport Main Beach.

Koci is 5-feet-11 and 195 pounds with gray hair, said Santa Cruz County sheriff’s Sgt. Roy Morales.

Koci went to Davenport Main Beach with a friend about 10 a.m. Saturday, Morales said. The pair split up at the beach about 1:30 p.m., when Koci was last seen by his friend, Morales said. Koci wore blue and gray boardshorts.

He was reported missing that afternoon.

Deputies searched the area until dark Saturday. That afternoon, bystanders told authorities that they believed a body was in the ocean off Davenport Main Beach but they were unable to reach it. Authorities could not find it or confirm that it was a body, said Morales.

Sunday, deputies searched the area with a helicopter and were not successful. There was no formal search Monday or Tuesday, Morales said.

It is not clear if Koci was swept into the ocean, said Morales.

Sea glass collectors and authorities have warned beach visitors to check tides and ocean conditions before visiting beaches.

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to call 831-471-1121.
