Haitian girl, suspected migrant smuggler missing off Florida coast
Miami -- The U.S. Coast Guard is continuing its search for two people missing off a capsized boat off Florida's Atlantic Coast.
The agency said in a news release that it was looking for a 9-year-old Haitian national and a Bahamian national who is a suspected migrant smuggler.
According to CBS Miami the Haitian girl and the alleged smuggler were aboard an 18-foot boat that capsized about 50 miles from Jupiter Inlet on Sunday with 11 people on board.
Officials say the boat capsized during an apparent migrant smuggling venture from Freeport, Bahamas, to Miami.
A Good Samaritan boat spotted nine people in the water who had been aboard the vessel and called for help.
