One of the Florida teens who was lost at sea last year apparently attempted to send his mother a heartfelt text message, but it cut off before he could tell her where he was.

Perry Cohen and his friend Austin Stephanos had gone missing off the coast of Jupiter, Florida, last summer.

Their boat capsized, but right before that, Cohen tried to send a text from his friend’s iPhone.

Rescue crews finally recovered the phone last month, when the teen’s boat was found near Bermuda, which is about 1,000 miles from the boys’ home. The phone was found in the dinghy’s tackle box.
