Joe Namath offers $100,000 in search for two lost Florida teens
Joe Namath has joined in the search for two missing Florida boys, offering $100,000 for information that aids in their rescue.
Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos of Tequesta, Fla., both 14 years old, were last seen on Friday afternoon buying fuel for their 19-foot boat. The boys did not return as scheduled on Friday.
Namath, a neighbor of one of the boys, participated in a Sunday news conference. He noted that both boys were experienced boaters.
“Just keep on praying, man,” he said. “It’s hard, it’s so hard. We’ve got to believe in their wherewithal, and we have some confidence in that area, no doubt. The good Lord’s got to help us out.”
The boys’ boat was found late Sunday, capsized 67 miles off Ponce de Leon Inlet. Neither boy was with the boat. Coast Guard crews have searched more than 14,000 square miles of the Florida coastline.
