Couple Missing After Plane Crash In The Bahamas

Coast Guard searches for missing couple in plane crash

A Daytona Beach couple is missing after their plane crashed into the ocean, during a trip back home from the Bahamas on Monday.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it found some wreckage while searching for survivors Tuesday morning.

According to a friend, they work Monday through Friday and fly to a second home in the Bahamas almost every weekend.

The couple reportedly left their home in the Bahamas on Monday around noon.

Not long after that, the Federal Aviation Administration notified the Coast Guard that they’d lost communication with a plane carrying two passengers on board.

A search was mounted and a helicopter crew located a debris field along the route that Al and Kathleen Van Nimwegen would have been taking from Marsh Island in Abaco to the Spruce Creek fly-in community where they lived near Daytona Beach.

The Coast Guard has not confirmed any deaths or the make of the plane.
