Pago Pago: Officials in American Samoa say they have recovered a personal locator beacon registered to an Indiana teen and his father who crashed off the US territory last month as they attempted to fly around the world.
The 17-year-old Haris Suleman died in the crash and his father, Babar Suleman, still is missing.
American Samoa Department of Homeland Security Director Iuniasolua Savusa said on Monday that the beacon registered to the Sulemans was retrieved from a family in a shoreline village.
Savusa says local authorities got a call late Sunday from the US Force Rescue Center in Florida that the beacon was transmitting GPS coordinates.
Police searched the shoreline and Homeland Security issued a bulletin on Sunday night for help from the community.
Savusa says a young boy found the device and took it home.
