The sole survivor from a boat believed to be carrying 40 people when it capsized off Florida spoke out for the first time Monday, recalling the moments the vessel went down and describing the heartbreak he felt after losing his younger sister in the tragedy.
"All the time I was thinking about my sister, that I had to survive so I could tell my parents what had happened to her," Juan Esteban Montoya Caicedo told reporters in Spanish Monday.
Family members identified a Colombian man as the only survivor after a boat capsized off Fort Pierce. NBC 6's Ryan Nelson reports A merchant vessel spotted him clinging to the overturned hull of the ship early Tuesday, setting off a massive search by the U.S. Coast Guard that was suspended Thursday night, after five bodies had been recovered.
Caicedo said he and his sister, who were both from Colombia, were joined by people from the Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica on the boat, which authorities said was part of a suspected human smuggling operation.
