The Coast Guard says it has discovered a debris field in the search for a Florida-bound plane carrying a mother and her two children, and another man.

Authorities say the debris field is about 15 miles east of Eleuthera, Bahamas, about 15 miles from where the plane disappeared.

On board are Nathan Ulrich, Jennifer Blumin and her two sons, ages 3 and 4. Blumin is from New York. The Coast Guard says Ulrich is from New Hampshire.

Miami Air Traffic Control notified the Coast Guard when the MU-2B plane lost radio contact and disappeared from radar Monday at 2 p.m. It was lost at 24,000 feet, at a speed of 300 knots.

The plane left Borinquen, Puerto Rico, Monday morning at 11, and was en route to Titusville where it was reported overdue.

Coast Guard crews and authorities from the Customs and Border Patrol and the Royal Bahamas Defense Force are taking part in the search.

According to the Associated Press, Blumin is the CEO of Skylight Group, which provides event space around New York City. AP says she owned the plane through a consulting company.
