Grenada and St. Vincent police believe that an older U.S. couple, Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel, who were aboard a hijacked catamaran, are likely dead and were possibly thrown overboard by three escaped prisoners. The suspects were arrested in St. Vincent, and signs of violence were found on the couple's abandoned boat. The couple, described as "veteran cruisers," were well-known in the sailing community. Authorities are investigating the escape of the prisoners and the tragic incident.
