MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The wife of Mark Stoneberg, who has been missing off the coast of Puerto Vallarta since Tuesday when he went body surfing, says there’s renewed hope in the search.

Nancy, of Robbinsdale, Minn., said that in addition to the Mexican navy rescue team of divers, a private citizen has offered to help.

She said the new search member has worked with the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, and could possibly pinpoint where her husband might be.

She declined to identify him, but said he’s flying around the area as others search the shoreline in hopes of finding Mark.
