An investigation is underway into the mysterious disappearance of several members of Haiti's Special Olympics delegation, Florida police announced Tuesday.

According to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, six members of the delegation have not been seen since leaving their hotel in Kissimmee around 2:30 p.m. on Monday.

"All of them turned in their room keys, and left behind their personal bags and belongings," the sheriff's office said in a bulletin published on social media.

Police identified the missing men as Atione Joseph Mithon, 32; Nicholson Fontilus, 20; Peter Mianovich Berlus, 19; Anderson Petit-Frere, 18; Steevenson Jacquet, 24; and Oriol Jean, 18.
