Day 2 of search ends with man still missing

WESTERLY – Rhode Island and Connecticut emergency personnel and volunteers unsuccessfully searched for the second day for a missing Bradford man.

The search was called off today at dusk. It will resume tomorrow morning.

Giorgio Celico, 66, of 23 Bradford Road, was last seen Monday night. He was reported missing early Tuesday morning.

Police said Celico was depressed and may have had a gun when he left his house Monday night. Police could not confirm today if Celico was armed.

His Mercedes was found abandoned near Route 91, on the Westerly-Hopkinton border. The keys were still in the ignition.

Rescue personnel searched for the man’s body in the river, after search dogs traced the man’s scent to a bridge near the Bradford Dyeing Association.
