PUNTA GORDA - Relatives and volunteers continue to search for a missing former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Punta Gorda who hasn't been seen in more than a week.

Twenty-four-year-old Eric Hall was last seen on Feb. 3 when he got on his motorcycle and rode away from his aunt's house.

Relatives think he was hallucinating and believed he was back in Iraq.

The motorcycle was found later on a roadside, still running.

As many as 50 volunteers helped search for Hall Sunday.

Charlotte County sheriff's deputies suspended their full-scale search Friday but continue to investigate.

Hall was wounded in a bomb explosion in June 2005 and spent 13 weeks in the hospital. He was later granted medical retirement from the Marines.
