Just a week after the release of a 100-page report on two Florida boys who went missing out at sea last summer, a new video has emerged, possibly showing their last moments.
Images were released by by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, apparently showing 14-year-olds Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen going out to sea from Jupiter, Fla., on July 24.
The two boys were said to be experienced boaters and fishers, having grown up on the water.
The boys’ parents are now battling over what to do with his phone, but they finally agreed to let Apple analyze it in the hopes they'll find some new clues, Fox8 reported.
Meanwhile, a pilot who was involved in the search for the boys claims to have taken a photo of a person sitting on a piece of debris out at sea. Bobby Smith told Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators that he was flying near the Georgia coast when he saw two white pieces of debris tied together with an orange life jacket. He saw a person and when he climbed in altitude to radio controllers, he couldn’t spot the debris again. The Coast Guard also couldn’t find anything, but Smith told the Orlando Sentinel that his granddaughter took a picture.
The two boys also sent messages on social media before the disapperance. One of them sent a Snapchat message that said, “We’re f'd.”
It was also reported that Cohen sent texts to his mother.
“Mom, it’s Perry. My iPad is dead, I'll text you in a little. Love you,” Cohen wrote to his mother, Pamela. She texted him back soon after that.
She wrote back, “OK. I wanted you to sleep home tonight, I miss you. We leave Sunday morning for New York. What about your work?”
“But I was going to sleep at,,,” he wrote before his message cut off.
