There is a large scale search going on in the area, and hoping for a positive outcome.
A Falcon 10 passing overhead heard the distress calls, talked with the pilot, and passed on the info to Miami Center who sent the US Coast Guard.
N2848R is a C-182 registered in Texas, so whatever media reported this was (as usual) incorrect.
