KINGSTON, Jamaica -- After scouring an expanse of white-capped waters off Jamaica for three days, rescuers lost hope of finding a prominent New York couple or recovering wreckage of their small plane that traveled on a ghostly journey last week after the pair was apparently incapacitated.

On Sunday, the Jamaican military and the U.S. Coast Guard both decided to suspend air-and-sea searches for Laurence and Jane Glazer, whose single-engine plane flew on its own for 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers) Friday before running out of fuel and slamming into deep waters some 14 miles (22 kilometers) off Port Antonio on Jamaica's northeast coast.
