Missing Jet Skiers Found Alive

Two missing jet skiers were found Sunday night after getting lost.

Police say that Harry Schetter of Brigantine and his daughter were jet skiing from the Golden Nugget Marina in Atlantic City to Grassy Bay near Brigantine City along with Schetter's girlfriend Amee Hird, of Franklinville and her son.

The group left the Golden Nugget Marina around 7:15 p.m. Police say Schetter noticed Hird and her son weren't with them when he arrived at Grassy Bay with his daughter. He traveled back into the water but couldn't find her. He then notified the coast guard and marine unit who began to search around 8:30 p.m.

Fortunately the coast guard found Hird and her son on a large mud flap in Grassy Bay. The two were rescued by helicopter. Police say both were unharmed.
