American Couple Likely Thrown Overboard and Killed in Grenada Yacht Hijacking

Police in Grenada believe that a U.S. couple whose catamaran was hijacked by escaped prisoners were likely killed and thrown into the Caribbean Sea. The prisoners hijacked the catamaran and headed to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where they were arrested. Limited information is available as the investigation is ongoing, and Grenadian authorities are still gathering details. The couple, Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel, were described as "veteran cruisers" and longtime members of the Salty Dawg Sailing Association.
