警方表示，他们正在搜寻一名周六在巴哈马失踪的美国女子。该女子的丈夫告诉当局，妻子从他们的船上落水后被卷进了大海，就此失踪。
据巴哈马皇家警察部队消息，该男子称，他和妻子均为美国公民，于当地时间周六晚7点30分左右从希望镇出发，前往巴哈马阿巴科岛上的埃尔博凯。警方表示，两人当时乘坐一艘8英尺长的硬底充气快艇出海。
警方称，该男子告诉警方，妻子带着船钥匙落水，导致发动机熄火。他说，强劲的海流将妻子卷向深海，他眼睁睁看着妻子消失在视线中。该男子划着小艇靠岸，于周日凌晨4点抵达马什港造船厂，全程耗时数小时。
警方表示，该男子抵达造船厂后立即告知他人妻子失踪，随后有人通知了当局。警方随后在巴哈马皇家国防军和希望镇消防人员的协助下，对周边区域展开搜索。
巴哈马皇家警察部队周一在一份声明中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，调查仍处于“搜救阶段”。
声明称：“美国相关机构、志愿者、巴哈马皇家警察部队以及巴哈马皇家国防军正在协助此次搜救行动。”
警方呼吁社区内可能掌握与调查相关信息的民众向执法部门举报，或通过“犯罪制止者”热线提交匿名线索。
失踪女子及其丈夫的身份均未公开。
美国国务院在2025年3月发布的一份旅行警告中提醒民众，在巴哈马乘船可能面临致命风险，称当地“乘船活动监管不力”，且“已有人员因此受伤或死亡”。该警告还提醒，摩托艇等水上交通工具可能来自无资质运营商，这些人“有时会无视天气预报”。国务院鼓励旅行者“始终关注当地天气和海事警报”。
American woman missing after husband says she fell off boat and was swept out to sea in Bahamas

Police say they’re searching for an American woman who disappeared Saturday in the Bahamas. The woman’s husband told authorities that his wife went missing after falling from their boat and being swept out to sea.
The man reported that he and his wife, who are both U.S. nationals, left Hope Town for Elbow Cay on the Bahamian island of Abaco at around 7:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force. They had set sail aboard an 8-foot hard-bottom dinghy, police said.
The man told police that his wife fell overboard with the keys to the boat, causing its engine to turn off. He said that strong currents carried her out to sea, and he lost sight of her, according to police. The man paddled the dinghy to shore, arriving hours later at the Marsh Harbor Boat Yard at 4 a.m. Sunday morning.
Police said the man told someone his wife was missing once he made it to the boat yard, and that person informed authorities. Officers proceeded to search the surrounding area, with help from members of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and Hope Town fire officials.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force told CBS News that its investigation was “still in the search-and-rescue stage” in a statement Monday.
“U.S. counterparts, volunteers, the Royal Bahamas Police Force and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force are assisting with this,” the statement said.
Police have asked people in the community who may have information relevant to the probe to report what they know to law enforcement, or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.
Neither the missing woman nor her husband have been publicly identified.
The U.S. State Department warned of potentially deadly boating issues in the Bahamas in a travel advisory issued in March 2025, which said “boating is not well regulated” on the islands, and “injuries and deaths have occurred.” The advisory also warned that watercraft, like jet skis, may come from unlicensed operators who “sometimes ignore weather forecasts.” It encouraged travelers to “always follow local weather and marine alerts.”
