I'm local and I heard they searched the water near his route yesterday and then moved to Hammock Park. As the days go on it makes it less likely he's confused in a hospital somewhere. I walk the trail and Hammock Park a lot and while the latter is bigger than it first appears, I'd think it could be thoroughly searched in a day, marshy area and all.

I grew up across the street from Hammock Park. Was part of the "save the park" group last year. You are tight, it is bigger then it looks and there are additional parcels to the east of the park, ie OLL land, that is not even counted in the acreage. I know that area very well. What would help is to get an exact pinpoint of where his route was to walk his dog. Also when I google 1800 block of Bayshore it's down by Mira Vista/Pasadena area. They're saying Michigan and Bayshore. There's a difference and they should check the golf course and ponds there also if he was closer to there and Hammock land by the community center. Praying they do find him ok.

[h=1]Body found floating in Dunedin canal[/h]
The Pinellas County Sheriff&#8217;s Office says the decomposed remains of a man were found in a canal behind the Cedar Creek Mobile Home Park on Michigan Boulevard around 3:48 p.m.

Detectives have launched a death investigation, but say the death does not appear to be suspicious.

The sheriff&#8217;s office says the man has not been identified, but tell us the death may be related to a missing and endangered person investigation.

Distance between where Charles went missing and the body found is only a half a mile: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/180...03ae0b944a5a!2m2!1d-82.783205!2d28.036824!3e0

Is the canal deep so if he fell in he would be unable to get himself out? So sad. :(

I don't know if it's really what you call a canal, more like a creek. A lot of them in Dunedin, lots of water moccasins in the creeks. If you look at this map you can see where it is. There used to be a train track where the Pinellas trail is now and a tress over the creek. As kids we used to run like morons across the tress as trains approached with the fhrill and fear of having to jump in the creek if we didn't make it all the way across. https://www.google.com/maps/place/C...c3dd03ae0b944a5a!8m2!3d28.036824!4d-82.783205

The news said he had balance issues, its possible if it is the missing man that he lost his balance on that part of the Pinellas Trail and fell in to the creek. I feel so sad for him and his family
