The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for four people, including two U.S. citizens, who were reported missing on a fishing trip off the Dominican Republic's southern coast.
The Coast Guard says Robert Wayne and Laura Ricart left Boca Chica with Spaniard Javier Jorge and Dominican Plinio Jacobo, aboard a 24-foot boat.
