‘On pins and needles”: Family members wait for identification of bodies connected to capsized fishing vessel
The bodies that were found on Monday among the debris of a fishing vessel that capsized over the weekend have yet to be identified. It might make it all the more difficult for the loved ones of those five men who went missing in Southeast Alaska. “That confirmation is going to be the hardest day of our lives,” Carol Hannah, the mother of Jacob Hannah, one of the crew members aboard the vessel, said. “We’re all on edge right now waiting to see if one of them is our Jake.” On Monday, Alaska Wildlife Troopers reported that human remains were found on a beach near Hoonah. The remains, troopers stated, were discovered among the debris of the fishing vessel Wind Walker, which capsized early in the morning of Dec. 1 near Point Couverden.
