The Coast Guard is now investigating the case of the 3 Belize City fishermen lost at sea. 20-year-old Donovan Usher, 29-year-old Giovanni Murrillo, and 33-year-old Jerome Bowen left for Turneffe Island on Thursday morning on a one day fishing trip. They have not returned. As you heard yesterday the family believes that the Coast Guard may be involved. That's because the men have a history of bitter encounters with the Coast Guard - involving a shooting incident where Giovanni Murrillo allegedly fired on the Coast Guard out at sea in February of this year. Murrillo walked free for that case and the family say that since then the guys have been receiving threats from the Coast Guard. Well, when we spoke to the family today they told us that they are more hopeful now because they met with the Coast Guard today and the case is now being handled by the higher up's in the CG. We will keep you updated on this story.
