The attorney for Clearwater boat owner, Jeffry Knight, sent a letter to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that included what he says are handwritten, notarized statements from several passengers on the boat.

Said Sandy Todd, the victim's sister: “I know my brother is not coming back, but I want the person who is responsible for this situation to pay for what he did.”

As of Monday night, no charges have been filed in the crash that killed one person and injured several others. Police have released the names of the man who was killed on the ferry, as well as both boat operators.

The deceased and injured were among 45 people aboard the Clearwater Ferry. The crash was declared “a mass casualty incident” by Clearwater Fire & Rescue.
