Two Bodies Found After Alaskan Fishing Boat Capsizes

Authorities recover remains and debris linked to the Wind Walker, which disappeared with five crew members in rough seas earlier this month.

The bodies were discovered near debris from the fishing vessel Wind Walker, which capsized off southeast Alaska on December 1.
Authorities believe the remains belong to two of the five missing crew members based on evidence found at the site, including survival suits and fishing gear.
The remains were transported to the state medical examiner’s office for autopsies and identification, with families of the missing notified of the discovery.
Search teams with dogs covered a five-mile stretch of shoreline near Hoonah but found no additional human remains.
The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search for the vessel and crew on December 2 after receiving a mayday call reporting the boat was overturning.
