A boat with would-be illegal migrants that left from Monte Cristi in the early hours of Tuesday morning, April 9, to go to Florida, has been reported missing in the Atlantic Ocean.
According to a man named as Jose Luis Tatis, the boat had to return to shore to repair the engine after it broke down, and once repaired they set off again, however the engine apparently failed again.
The boat is thought to have 15 people on board, and the Navy unit in Monte Cristi is searching for it.
