Summary
- Widow visited Bequia two years after plane crash killed family.
- She met with a fisherman and a woman who recovered bodies.
- The family's final days were filled with joy and friendship.
Two years after a devastating plane crash claimed the lives of her husband, actor Christian Oliver, and their two daughters, Madita and Annik, Jessica Klepser has visited the site of the tragedy on Bequia. This emotional pilgrimage allowed her to connect with the island where her family spent their final, joyful days before their deaths on January 4, 2024.
During her visit, Klepser met with a fisherman who retrieved the bodies from the ocean and a woman who held one of her daughters. She reflected on the profound love and unity of her family, sharing a touching detail that they were found holding each other tightly underwater. This visit marked a significant moment of remembrance and closure.
The incident occurred shortly after takeoff from JF Mitchell Airport, when the pilot reported difficulties and attempted to turn back. The small plane subsequently crashed into the sea, resulting in the immediate deaths of the actor, his daughters, and the pilot. The family had arrived in the Caribbean on December 26, 2023, for what was intended to be a holiday trip to St. Lucia.
