About 2 1/2 weeks ago, three guys left Naples in a 24' Hydrasport Cuddy
heading 60 miles offshore, at night, to fish a wreck. They were reported
missing the next day, and the Coast Guard spent $1.6 million and about a
week's time looking for them. Then, yesterday, the boat was found on a
beach in Cape Canaveral...on the other coast! On board, they found the
remains of one individual, but forensics haven't come back on it yet. The
FBI is handling the investigation because of a number of "odd" discoveries.
The steering wheel was tied with a rope to the cabin hatch. The rope was
then tied several times around the bow railing, and had appeared to be cut.
Numerous PFD's, a flare kit, several jerry cans of fuel, etc were
recovered...possibly indicating the boat remained upright and afloat until
being capsized in the surf off Cape Canaveral.
