Seats allegedly from boat 2 missing VI youths boarded found off Florida coast
The orange and white seats, suspected to have belonged to a 36-foot Avanti powerboat named Gorda Sound, were reportedly recovered by a sports fisherman of the coast of Florida this past weekend.
Missing youths
Police in January 2022 had asked the public’s help to locate Khori Prince, 22, of West End, and Kelvin Turnbull Jr., 20, of Little Dix Hill, who were reported missing on January 4, 2022, after they were believed to have boarded the private vessel on December 31, 2021.
The powerboat was also reported missing.
The discovery of the row of seats was highlighted by a Gino Gargiulo on Facebook and shared by persons on the Real BVI Community Board on Monday, May 16, 2022.
Row of seats was found ‘floating’
Gargiulo accompanied the post with a photo of the row of seats, which showed the writing ‘Avanti 36’ on them.
“Very sad! My good friend Chris Koulouvaris was out swordfishing about 15 miles off the coast of Fort Lauderdale and found this seat floating. He sent me a photo of it and I posted it on a boating page on Facebook and I had seven different people contact me from Saint Thomas asking where the seat was found because the boat has been missing with the people that owned it since December 31!”
It should be noted that our research has found that there are other powerboats with similar seats and branding.
Virgin Islands News Online has reached out to Mr Koulouvaris for more information and is awaiting a response.
Our newsroom has also reached out to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) to find out of they are aware of the find and whether they are investigating. A police source has promised a response by this morning, May 17, 2022.

1What blacklist u speak of?
the cops here need to do them work and find out what really went down. them boy wouldn't just take up the boat and go with it without someone giving them the keys or information on where and what their were going to use the boat for. my heart goes out to the both boys family.
my prays are still hoping their are still alive some where.
People need to face reality and stop play blind and naive though.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.
Ayo come on here with hear say and dem say and paint the wrong picture of ppl and making them other fools believe ayo! MIND THE BUSINESS THAT PAYS YOU!
Was he the one that send them out?
He could of borrowed them his boat or rent it without no n them boys intentions, Have u thought about that?
The boat was his y would he do something like that so fingers 2 point in his direction ? Voice notes let us2 hear he didn't want any heat on him!!!
That's like giving u my car 2do a robbery I change the color but leave on the license plates.????????
since he didn't went them caught him home. street also say is the WEST BANK that have something to do with it, plus the street say silver car that was use to shot lilshawn Belonger to WEST BANK...
ALSO since Tarik been jail street said the leader for WEST BANK had persons jump and beat up Tarik....
Now something really aint adding up and Lilshawn didn't want a part of what was going down and he last his life the two young man was to do a drop off that was set up to take out lil shawn. the police have all the information them need cause the police is who release the voice note(the street said) WEST BANK and the O'Neal boys need to be pick up and lock up cause word on the street them know what happen to lilshawn and them two boys.
