Even more troubling, a Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew located a debris field 15 miles east of Eleuthera, Bahamas, on Tuesday

The helicopter crew was able to lower a rescue swimmer and retrieve some of the debris to transfer ashore for identification.

"There's no indication of significant adverse weather at the time," Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Ryan Kelly told The Associated Press.

Blumin heads up the New York City event planning firm Skylight Group.

Nathan Ulrich is the ex-husband of Rae Dawn Chong, the daughter of "Cheech and Chong" actor Tommy Chong. 

"My ex-hubby's (Nathan Ulrich) plane is missing over the Bermuda Triangle. I am sad and in shock. So send prayers to his family. Thanks." Ms. Chong posted on Twitter after the news broke.
