This is a strange twist:

The son of Guido Foresti, one of the four people in the plane with Missoni and his companion, received an eerie SMS message late Sunday night saying, in Italian: “Call now, we are reachable.” Italian telephone company Telecom Italia Mobile confirmed to a local television station that the message was sent, but they say they cannot verify exactly when it was written. Foresti's son had been in regular contact with his father and says that he had heard from him before the plane took off, making the message even more curious. Calls by the son to his father now indicate that the phone is off. Vittorio Missoni’s sister Angela confirms that they are now hoping that her brother and his companions and crew were actually kidnapped. “It’s better to be kidnapped than at the bottom of the sea,” she told Italian reporters outside her home Monday. “We hope all four are alive and well. We also hope that the searches go in all directions.” Investigators are now looking into whether any signs lead to a kidnapping and, if so, whether the pilots may have been involved.
