A graduate student from the University of Central Florida remains missing Saturday after he was pulled underwater by a large sea turtle, according to Local 6 News.


Officials said Boyd Lyon, 35, vanished Thursday afternoon about three miles north of the Sebastian Inlet and 400 yards out to sea, sheriff's officials said.

The student was apparently tagging turtles as part of a UCF research project.


"The person was onboard a Boston Whaler with other students when a large turtle pulled the victim underwater," Local 6's Bob Frier said.

The Coast Guard from the Fort Pierce, Fla., station is conducting the search with assistance from the Brevard County sheriff's helicopter

Or maybe the guy was mean to little baby dime store turtles that you used to be able to buy at Woolworth's for 50 cents and then keep in a plastic bowl with a fake palm tree on the island.

I knew a few boys who'd buy these poor critters and then smash them against walls or set them on fire.

I'd bet money that this guy is/was one of those depraved youngsters......
