The U.S. Coast Guard will end its search Friday at sunset for a pair of 14-year-old boys missing for a week off the coast of Florida. Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen were last seen July 24 about 1:30 p.m. Near Jupiter, Fla., while buying $110 worth of fuel for their fishing boat. The boys were reported missing about 5 p.m. On July 26, a Coast Guard crew aboard an HC-130 plane found the boys' white, 19-foot vessel capsized about 77 miles east of Daytona Beach, Fla. Ref.
