The body of 48-y/o Victim1 was found last Fri. (09-28) on the beach SWof Unalakleet. Alaska State Trooper Spokesperson says a Bering Air helicopter pilot reported spotting Victim1. State troopers went out and recovered the body. Trooper says Victim1’s body was sent to the state medical examiners office in Anchorage for an autopsy. A local search effort continues for 41-y/o Victim2 who is still missing. One week ago Victim2 and Victim1 left Koyuk in a 17-ft. boat. Alaska State Troopers believe the boat capsized; it was found on Thur. (09-27), upside down on the beach 13 mi. SW of Unalakleet. Trooper says victim2’s  body was found not far from where the boat and much of the debris drifted ashore. Trooper says in the search for Victim2, a state trooper searched the coastline in a helicopter over the weekend. “There were about 9 boats, aluminum skiffs, that were out searching the shoreline, looking at the shoreline; but, as of today, they suspended their efforts in the search pending new leads if other information comes up that we can find victim2,” Trooper said. The couple had 2 dogs with them – the bodies of both dogs drifted ashore in the same area.
