The remains of a man and woman were recovered by a dive team Friday afternoon, said Coast Guard spokesman Erik Swanson. The bodies have yet be identified, but "it is believed they are the missing jet skiers," Swanson tells CNN. The pair went missing in Coney Island Creek around 8:15 p.m. Thursday, according to New York Police Department spokesman Sgt. Tom Antonetti. Several onlookers saw the pair riding together on a personal watercraft. The young woman apparently fell off and the man circled back and dived in after her. "They weren't wearing life vests," Swanson said. Coney Island Creek is adjacent to the Kaiser Park area of the Brooklyn island.
