- The boat was found drifting 60 miles from Belize's shoreline on Wednesday, with Harmon's body showing signs of mild decomposition.
- Two days prior, on Monday, a woman was rescued from the same vessel by a cruise ship, the MSC Divina, and was reported to be in a state of distress, though her current whereabouts are unknown.
- Harmon's son informed authorities that his father had set sail from Livingston, Guatemala, last week, nearly 250 miles from where the boat was located.
