Missing Florida teens' boat disappears

Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen last seen July 24

ORLANDO, Fla. – A new mystery is surrounding the search for two missing teen boaters from South Florida.

The boat the boys took out to sea has also disappeared.  The boat was originally found more than a week ago in the Atlantic Ocean, a little more than 60 miles off the Volusia coast.

Investigators said Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen were using the 19-foot boat when they were last seen.

A marine salvage company hired by the Coast Guard to bring the boat back to shore couldn't find the vessel, which was discovered capsized July 26.

Coast Guard spokesman Anthony Soto said Monday the boat had been left unsecured and the agency has no plans to look for it.

Soto said the boat wasn't brought to shore earlier because officials were focused on search efforts instead.

The Coast Guard called off its search for the boys on Friday, a week after they went missing.

The boys' families, along with volunteers, continue to look for the teenagers.
