Share this @internewscast.com

Almost 10 months after a Texas family’s boat capsized off the coast of Homer, Alaska, a search turned up human remains at the bottom of the bay.

In August 2024, the U.S. Coast Guard searched for the missing boaters but suspended it without any sightings.

David and Mary Maynard, from Troy, along with their two sons – 11-year-old Colton Maynard and 8-year-old Brantley Maynard – went missing after a 28-foot aluminum boat carrying eight people overturned about 16 miles west of Homer, as reported by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Next of kin have been notified and the Alaska Wildlife Troopers expressed their thanks to everyone who assisted in the recovery efforts.

“The Alaska Wildlife Troopers would like to express gratitude to Support Vessels of Alaska, Vision Subsea, Benthic Geoscience Inc, and Alaska Dive Search, Rescue, and Recovery Team for their ongoing help with this search and recovery operation,” they mentioned.

A GoFundMe set up when the family first went missing stated that the Maynards “made a significant impact on many people,” from the joy they shared with others to the “strong family ties they cultivated.”

It goes on to express how much they will be missed.

“It is indescribable the void that will be left behind, but I know if we come together as a family and a community they would know how much they meant to everyone,” the GoFundMe states.
