Vittorio Missoni (

vanished off the coast of Venezuela. Extensive search efforts have followed, with hundreds of divers and pilots in constant action. On Sunday, a text message was reportedly received from one of the passengers’ mobile phones, lending weight to the Missoni family’s belief that the disappearance is linked to a kidnapping, rather than a crash.

The Daily Beast on Thursday of the discovery of a body in Venezuelan waters, though the identity remains unconfirmed. As the search continues, our thoughts and prayers are with the Missoni family.
