Authorities seek to explain young sailor's trip
• AP Authorities tried to piece together Monday how 14-year-old Dutch sailor Laura Dekker managed to slip out of the Netherlands and fly to the Caribbean, and whether anybody helped her flee.
Dekker, who lost a court battle in October for the right to set off on a risky solo around-the-world trip, was discovered Sunday in the Dutch island territory of St. Maarten, three days after her mother reported her missing.
