NO LUCK FINDING MISSING BROTHERS

Brothers missing in Aruba--Search for brothers on boat continues



26 June 2006


ARUBA - The search for the boat with the brothers Panneflek is up till now unsuccessful. The Search And Rescue Foundation Aruba and the Coastguard have searched the seas around Aruba and have informed all the boats in the surrounding seas about the missing brothers.


The Guardia Naval (Coastguard) from Cartagena and the Venezuelan patrol boat Independencia are also searching for the boat and the two brothers. Also the American naval ship, the USS Monterey that was in the neighborhood of Aruba is searching. The Fokker of the Coastguard has meanwhile also searched the coasts of Colombia. The two brothers went fishing with their unsinkable last Saturday and didn't return. Also family members and other volunteers went out to sea to help look for the missing two.

I believe the 2 brothers were from America or Austria. Not 100% sure.

Sadly I have a feeling pirates over came these 2 brothers or they drowned and taken out farther deep into the waters. They were pretty far out in their boat as it was.

May God lead the authorities to the 2 brothers and bring them home.

Please people, these were 2 Aruban brothers, fishermen. They went fishing like they have been doing for probably 20 years. Then they either got lost or found bad seas, that caused them to drown.Slight possibility they could have been killed by "pirates", but not likely. Their boat was found seven(7) weeks after they got lost in the waters of Panama.It was drifting, and mostly everything was still inside except the brothers. So please this was a accident that caused a major search from volunteers, coastguard, both Aruban and Curacao, the police chopper, even somebody went down from Florida to Aruba in his sailboat, to try to find them. The family looked everywhere from the islands to south america, with help from donations of the great Aruban people, that is allways willing to help. I just think that this is just a tragic and sad accident. And despite how big this search was for the 2 Aruban brothers, it pales in comparison to the search for Natalee Holloway, which was and continues to be the biggest ever in history.
