LOCAL : Boat Mishap Victims Identified
Coast Guard cutters and helicopters searched the waters between Long Beach and Santa Catalina Island today looking for clues to the cause of a mysterious Thanksgiving Day boating accident that killed at least two people, and possibly three.
The bodies of a Hemet couple, Robert Reid, 84, and his wife, Thelma, 75, were found about 4:45 p.m. Thursday amid the splintered wreckage of the Lucky R, a cabin cruiser that reportedly belonged to their son.
The son, identified by the Coast Guard as Charles Reid, was believed to have been on board, but his body had not been found by late this morning.
