0:53Now PlayingA “beloved” Texas couple and their two young sons are feared to have died after the boat they were on capsized and sank into 51-degree water off a remote coastline of Alaska.
The US Coast Guard received a report around 7 p.m. Saturday that a 28-foot aluminum vessel carrying eight people had sent out a distress call that it had begun taking on water and was in dire need of being rescued, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
A radio broadcast was quickly sent out by the Coast Guard to other ships in the area to aid in the rescue about 16 miles off the coast of Homer, Alaska, branch spokesman Travis Magee told the outlet.
Magee said the ship Salty Sea responded to the call before rescue personnel reached the sinking vessel and saved four people stranded in a life raft in the frigid water.
The four are expected to be okay and were not injured.
However, Mary and David Maynard, along with their two young sons, Colton, 11, and Brantley, 7, remain missing.
Family friend Stetson Chase provided a statement on Facebook Monday on behalf of Mary Maynard’s parents and confirmed that the Troy, Texas, family were onboard when the ship was sinking and have yet to be found.
