Preliminary info indicates that operator's wife and two children were asleep below deck while her husband departed at 9pm to travel from Hyannis to Nantucket (approximately a two hour journey).  At 3:15am the next morning wife awoke from their boat which had run aground.  Her husband was not on the boat.  The husband was not reported missing until 11:54pm that day to the local pd.  The coast guard was not notified until 2:00pm.  At this point a search and rescue mission was conducted but operator was not found as of 4/27/2010.  The DA has decided at this point that there is no evidence of foul play.  There are conflicting reports that the wife gave to different news outlets after her husband went missing as well as the timeline of her reporting her husband missing.  At this time our agency is investigating this accident to determine whether or not it is reportable.  No further info at this time (4/27/10).
