Sharon...is there a chance that this could be the GM's wife that you posted about this morning or the young mother from the charter boat?  I wondered about the charter boat as the article said they were searching to see if there were any more bodies!

Hi Mum

GM's wife found safe. 2NJ posted the update. Hoorah for a happy ending.

I was thinking about the boat captain's wife, too. 

I haven't heard any updates yet.

There are so many people 'fleeing' their Caribbean islands (Cuba, Haiti primarily)to reach our shores -- and they travel in inner tubes, makeshift rafts, etc -- that is always the first thought. Someone didn't make it -- and at least washed up on shore.

I'll post any updates I find. This was in Pompano Beach -- Broward County...or more generally speaking,  'Ft lauderdale' -- just in case you see an update.

Hi Mum -

Also meant to add -- Coast Guard called off search for crew last Friday, I beleive.

Family was conducting private searches -- they may still be.

I think everyone in the family believes them to be dead, now Bullet casings found on the boat 

The family was hoping that they had just been thrown overboard without shooting. Casing make it look grim. Waiting for forensics on blood found on boat.

And just to add insult to injury -- there is now a family 'battle' over the custody of the captains 2 babies

Thanks Sharon and thanks for all the updates.

Sadly, it's not anyone that we were already looking for. Don't know the cause.
