Silvia Larrieu, a relative, stated that the bodies were recovered by boats after the family initiated their own search efforts, collaborating with the U.S. Coast Guard to bring the deceased back home.\n\nLarrieu's uncle, Mario Lamar, 80, his wife Lili, 79, and their grandchildren Sofi Sosa, 28, and Christian Sosa, 22, were aboard the aircraft when it disappeared on Monday after departing from Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands of the Bahamas. The destination was the Miami Executive Airport in Miami-Dade County.\n\nMario Lamar, an experienced pilot with over 40 years of flying experience, routinely flew to the Bahamas, where he owned a second home in Great Harbour Cay. Sofi Sosa and Christian Sosa were returning home to Miami from a long weekend trip. Sofi Sosa had sent a text message to her parents, indicating their departure, and a flight plan filed by her uncle confirmed the expected landing time.\n\nThe family expressed their deep gratitude to everyone who supported them during the search and their request for privacy as they mourned the devastating loss.",
