F/V Wind Walker – ‘Everybody is heartbroken’: Families of 5 missing crewmembers from boat capsizing share their stories
The families of the five crew members missing after their boat capsized in Icy Strait are opening up on who their loved ones are as they anxiously await updates while holding out hope that the men may still be alive somewhere. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search Monday after the fishing vessel Wind Walker capsized early Sunday near Point Couverden, the southern tip of a small island in Southeast Alaska. Always a lover of fishing and the ocean, Jacob’s mother Carol Hannah said he moved to Alaska from their home in Oregon roughly two years ago. She described her son as always being the life of the party who could light up a room with his larger-than-life personality. Only in Alaska for six months, 34-year-old Emilio “EJ” had only recently taken up a career in fishing, with this trip being his first time out on a boat, according to his aunt Stephanie Molt. She said the five men had been fishing for black cod before the vessel was reported to have capsized.Video, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:47
