The authorities gave up on their attempt to search dead bodies of the five fishermen on Sunday, after both Navy pictures and private divers discovered that the boat’s overturned hull did not have any dead bodies in it. Susan Murphy stated that “we got a glimmer of hope when the found the hull, hoping they would find the boys aboard, of course they didn’t and that was another bit of sad news.” The community has no option now but to commence the funerals without any bodies to be buried. Ken Hatfield alleged that “I had a nephew aboard that boat, Billy Jack, he was just like one of my own sons. I have been crying ever since it happened, but there’s nothing I can do about it I loved him, and he loved me too.” Hatfield added that “they probably went all together, you know what I mean. Better than them laying in that boat slowly dying.”
