Boat belonging to missing idiots now missing

Time has an article by Katie Reilly  about missing idiots in Florida:


Officials confirmed on Saturday that a boat found last month off the coast of Bermuda is one belonging to two Florida teens who went missing in July of 2016. A cell phone and plastic tackle boxes were among the items found on board the boat. Using a marine supply store sticker and the engine's serial number, authorities were able to identify it as the boat on which fourteen-year-old Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos had embarked on a fishing trip before getting caught in severe weather, CNN reported.
The nineteen-foot, single-engine vessel was found on 18 March 2016, about a hundred miles off the coast of Bermuda. It was picked up by a Norwegian ship and will be shipped to the US, according to the network. In statements on Facebook, Cohen’s family thanked the crew of the Norwegian ship Edda Fjord (photo, bottom): "On behalf of Perry's entire family we would like to thank the captain of the Norwegian ship and his crew of sixteen for all their efforts in recovering and salvaging the vessel in which our son and his dear friend (photos, top) disappeared. We sincerely appreciate the generosity of you and your company, Edda Accommodation, in financing the shipment of the vessel and personal belongings back to the United States. The actions of yourself, your crew, and your company will hopefully provide more details for us with the hopes of finding out what exactly happened to our son and his friend", and asked that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reopen the missing persons investigation. “This is an open Missing Persons case, and we hope that the FWC reopens their investigation and utilizes the expert resources of other government agencies, as well as the private sector if necessary, to extrapolate the data from the recovered iPhone,” Pamela Cohen and Nick Korniloff wrote.

Rico says one should not speak ill of the dead, no matter how dumb...

Speaking of dumb, NBC has more on the story:
While the vessel was recovered by the Coast Guard, it was not immediately secured.
Two weeks after two teenagers vanished while boating off the coast of South Florida, the Coast Guard has confirmed the one major clue in the boys’ disappearance is now lost at sea. The boat that Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen, both 14, had been fishing from is now missing, officials said Tuesday.
The capsized vessel had been recovered on 26 July 2016 off New Smyrna Beach, Florida, more than two hours north of where the boys were last seen two days prior. The boat was inspected by a Coast Guard rescue swimmer and marked with a beacon, but was not immediately secured.
