Seeking closure for lobsterman’s family: ‘No one wants a man lost at sea’
As Tylar Michaud headed home to Steuben from lobster fishing on Thursday, he told his father it had been a beautiful day on the water with no fog. They talked about finding time to finally get out on his boat together. “He was really proud of it and he wanted to get me out there to go fishing with him,” Ron Michaud said. Barely 24 hours later, Tylar Michaud’s boat, Top Gun, was found with no one aboard, setting off an intense search for the 18-year-old commercial fisherman. After an unsuccessful weekend search that was at times hampered by thick fog, the Maine Marine Patrol continued searching for Michaud on Monday. >click to read< 07:52
