Seven empty survival suits have been found, but there's no sign of the crew of five people who made a distress call as their fishing vessel was capsizing in a storm in the icy waters of the Gulf of Alaska, a Coast Guard official said Monday.
Four of the suits were located in a bay not far from where the Wind Walker fishing vessel was last heard from early Sunday morning in southeast Alaska. Three other suits were located on the bay’s shore, Coast Guard Petty Officer John Hightower said. Searchers also located the Wind Walker’s GPS beacon, along with two strobe lights, which narrowed the search area.
