The 19-foot Seacraft boat that missing Florida teens Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen took into the Atlantic Ocean from Jupiter Inlet on July 24 is back in Florida. Recovered by the crew of a Norwegian freighter 100 miles off the Bermuda coast, the boat arrived in Port Everglades late Sunday, transported in a shipping container on the USA-registered Yorktown Express. Like Austin's iPhone 6 - which was recovered in a latched compartment and quickly returned to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (Fwc) - the boat itself now becomes a potential point of contention between the boys' families and law enforcement.

In the nearly nine months since 14-year-old Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos vanished during a July 24 boating excursion from South Florida's Jupiter Inlet, the boys' families have worked tirelessly and tearfully to find out just what happened to their sons. Though both families share the same goal, their ways of going about getting the answers they so desperately need have driven a deep divide and led to a highly publicized - and criticized - court battle. "In our private lives, we were very private," Perry's stepfather Nicholas Korniloff tells People in an exclusive interview at the family's Tequesta home. "We...

Since July, the nation has been transfixed on the heartbreaking disappearance of two Florida teenagers who vanished during a boating excursion. Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14, set out for a day of fishing from Jupiter Inlet just hours before a violent storm hit. Though many maintain the most likely scenario is that the storm capsized the boys' boat, some factors point to the possibility of something far more nefarious. "I think there's a 60 percent chance of foul play," Beverly Hills-based criminal defense attorney Mark McBride tells People. McBride bases his suspicions primarily on an as-yet-unexplained discovery on the boy's 19-foot Seacraft boat,...

Photos released on Wednesday by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission show some concerning clues about the July 24 disappearance of two Tequesta teens. Longtime friends Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14, set out from Florida's Jupiter Inlet on a boating excursion that afternoon and were never seen again.

A lawsuit filed in Florida's Palm Beach County Courthouse seeking to block the return of an iPhone to the family of one of two boys lost at sea in July may soon be dropped if both families give consent to allow a full investigation of the phone's data.

Writer Julian Mitchell and actor Kenneth Branagh remember the struggle to mount a risky anti-establishment play, and how Rupert Everett did his best to spice it up
Julian Mitchell, writer
In 1979, when Mrs Thatcher stood up in the Commons and announced that the third man in the Burgess and Maclean spy case was Anthony Blunt, lots of people wrote articles and books saying how easy it must have been for these men to go over to Russia. But their reasoning didn't explain it to me. There's a great difference between betraying your country and wanting to change the world.
What wasn't really mentioned was that almost all the men involved were gay – though I'm not sure we said "gay" back then – and had all been to the same kind of public school. I'd been at Winchester myself. Though I hadn't been rebellious, I knew the oppressive way boarding school can work on people,...

Rupert Everett (l.) and Colin Firth star in Another Country.
Rupert Everett (Hysteria) and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) star in the 1984 biographical drama-romance Another Country, which marked Firth’s movie debut and one of Everett’s first starring roles.
Set in England in 1932, the film focuses on Guy Bennett (Everett), an upper classman attending an elite British boys’ school. Amid an atmosphere of wealth and privilege, the flamboyant Guy embraces awareness of his gay identity just as his best friend Tommy (Firth) faces a growing preoccupation with Karl Marx. Each rebels in his own way against the demands of social conformity. But it is Guy’s infatuation with an underclassman (Cary Elwes, No Strings Attached) that takes center stage as his contempt for authority clashes with the school’s rigid code of conduct.
