Volare Sinking: Bodies Recovered, Search Continues | Sacramento News

A 49-foot cabin cruiser named the Volare sank near Alcatraz, claiming the lives of 16 people and a dog, with only one body recovered so far — 58-year-old Tondra Miller — and two still missing. Authorities used sonar and a remote-controlled vehicle to locate the wreckage and assess recovery safety. The group was en route to a memorial for a nurse who died a decade ago. The first recovered victim, 79-year-old Clifford Joseph Boisa, had a background as a reserve deputy sheriff. The Coast Guard suspended search efforts for the missing, but police continue to investigate the cause of the sinking and coordinate with agencies to bring up the vessel and locate the remaining two. Officials extended their condolences and thanked responders for their swift and ongoing efforts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
