Nearly 100 volunteers and rescue personnel showed up on Long Island Saturday to continue the frantic search for a missing political candidate who inexplicably vanished last month.
Splitting off into pairs, the volunteers set out at 7 a.m. to canvas and comb through Long Beach, where Petros Krommidas, 29, was last seen on April 23 when he went for a training swim, cops and family said.
Soon after he went missing, police found the Krommidas’ locked car by the Allegria Hotel, just near the beach he had regularly visited to train for a triathlon, his family added.
Krommidas – a Democrat who is running for a seat on the Nassau County Board of Legislators – reportedly appeared to have taken a towel with him on the day he disappeared.
“We’re sending people out with flyers, we’re going to go and canvas the area between Atlantic Beach and Lido Beach and Point Lookout,” Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman told reporters from the beach’s parking lot Saturday afternoon.
The efforts included ATVs, drones and helicopters, and members of the Marine Bureau in boats, according to Blakeman, who ordered the mobilization of Nassau’s Community Emergency Response Team Thursday.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Did he join Obama’s chef?
Check with ICE.
“reportedly appeared to have taken a towel with him on the day he disappeared.”
I’m not saying we should worry about a Vogon Constructor fleet, but ....
Hiding out in a Republican’s garage for safety and security.
Poor guy! :(
Sheesh. Missing since April 23rd, so going on two weeks. 100 volunteers, search dogs, the full monty search. A “desperate” search. For a guy who went for a training swim in the ocean off Long Island.
Hmm, this is a thumbsucker.
Time to haul out Occam’s razor.
Aliens. Yup, aliens got him.
Of course, this is New York and he IS a politico....
This kind of search is justified when someone gets lost in the wilderness because people can and do survive for long periods. But here ... either he washes up or he doesn’t. After a week, he probably won’t. RIP.
Unfortunately the riptide along long Beach may gave claimed another victim.
Nearly 72 years ago I was caught in the riptide off Long Beach. I know the fear, but I also know that it took me nearly half a mile along the shore before I was able to swim out of it.
You don’t swim against it, you swim with it on a diagonal to the shore.
Depending on he strength of the riptide, he may or may not ever be found.
Did they question Joseph Scianablo?
I’ve read that you swim parallel to the shore. If you swim diagonally, you’re in it longer than you need to be.
You knew what you needed to do. Glad you made it.
Whats the problem, he can still vote.
Just look for a giant pile of cash.
Give the searchers hundred dollar bills to wave over their heads.
LOL! You win the internet today! Vogons…towels and 42.
Hire the popcorn vendors from Yankee Stadium to go out yelling, “Taxpayermoneyheah! Get your free Taxpayer money, heah! No questions asked!”
They don’t call them R.I.P tides for nothing!
Shark attack.
I wonder if he knows a guy named Ford Prefect.
It certainly could be a shark attack. It is beyond stupid to swim alone, especially in the ocean.
