posted (November 25, 2019)
Here's what police told the media about the missing men today:

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"Family members have tried contacting them since Friday and have been unable to do so. As a result of the report being received police and coastguard visited the Mapp Caye area where searches have been going on since the report was made. However, so far they have not been found, so the searches continue."

Reporter
"Is there any sort of evidence indicating that they arrived at their destination?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"Yes, we do believe so. What we do know is that the coast guard effected regular patrols in that area as a consequence of what had transpired earlier in June."

We note that there are reports that a vessel fitting the description of The LORIANNE was found around midday today semi-submerged among some mangroves on Drown Caye. However Gibson's family says that the vessel in the picture is not for their brothers.
