On May 28, 2024, at around 5:28 p.m., deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a missing swimmer at 13601 Gulf Boulevard in Madeira Beach.

Detectives reported that 51-year-old Anthony Angelo of Madeira Beach and his girlfriend, 37-year-old Christen Stretch, entered the water with floats.
