Italian sources from the prosecutor’s office in Bari found that one of the two charred bodies found on the ship could belong to a 60-year-old missing truck driver following the disastrous Norman Atlantic shipwreck. The second body possibly belongs to an undocumented migrant whose name was not on the passenger list. Official autopsy results are still pending.

The ferry stern door has yet to be opened. Authorities may open it next week to search for more victims.

The Italian-flagged ferry leased to Greek ANEK was carrying over 470 passengers when a fire broke out in the garage area on December 28, 2014, shortly after it had left from the port of Igoumenitsa in northwestern Greece. At least 11 people died, but two dozen others are still missing.
