THE SEARCH FOR THE MAN, WOMAN AND TWO CHILDREN WHO HAD REPORTEDLY ABANDONED SHIP SUNDAY, HAS BEEN CALLED OFF. THE COAST GUARD WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ANY DEBRIS, AND COULD NOT EVEN IDENTIFY THE BOAT OR PASSENGERS ABOARD IT. PART OF THE DISTRESS CALL WAS RELEASED IN HOPES SOMEONE COULD IDENTIFY THE VOICE, WITH NO LUCK. THE COAST GUARD BELIEVES THE INCIDENT MAY HAVE BEEN A HOAX ALL ALONG.
