Rescue teams from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Jamaica Defense Force were suspended in their searches Sunday for a New York couple whose plane crashed just north of Jamaica in the Caribbean Sea.

"The Coast Guard suspends a search and rescue case with extremely great care and deliberation," said the chief of response management for the Coast Guard, Capt. Todd M. Coggeshall, in a statement. "After a search area is saturated several times with a maximum number of assets, resources and crew effort, and persons in distress are still not located, a decision is made to suspend a case."

Jamaica Defense Force Capt. Basil Jarett said its crews suspended the search due to inclement weather.

The Coast Guard also said a C-130 aircraft spotted several small objects in the water, which were marked with buoys for boat crews. However, none of the search parties were able to relocate the objects on Saturday, according to the Coast Guard.

The missing people, Larry Glazer and his wife Jane, and their single-engine TBM-900 airplane crashed into the Caribbean after the pilot told air traffic controllers that something was not right with the aircraft Friday as they were flying south over the East Coast of the U.S. After the plane's radio went silent for hours, U.S. and Cuban military jets trailed the private plane to see what was happening.

There were different reports of how many were aboard the plane with the Coast Guard indicating there were three. However, relatives of the Glazers said they were the only two people headed from Rochester, New York, to their vacation home in Naples, Florida.

The passengers aboard were unresponsive for more than four hours, drifting further south over the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean. U.S. jet pilots said when they looked into the aircraft, the windows were frosted and the pilot was seen slumped over. The North American Aerospace Defense Command said the Glazers might have suffered from hypoxia, a condition that develops when there is little oxygen.

The aircraft dropped off of radar at 2:11 p.m. and crashed into the water 14 miles northeast of the Jamaican coast. The U.S. and Jamaican forces were quickly sent to the crash area. Authorities of the Caribbean country said they found an oil slick near the search area. Crews completed search patterns covering 3,750 square miles according to the USCG.

Glazer, an estate developer, and his wife, founder of QCI Direct, both knew how to fly. The TBM-900 airplane was owned by Larry's company, Buckingham Properties.

The couple have three children, who said in a statement that they were "devastated by the tragic and sudden loss of our parents."
