California IN BRIEF : LONG BEACH : Search Called Off for Missing Boater
The U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday called off the search for the body of a third person believed killed in a Thanksgiving Day boating accident off Santa Catalina Island that still has investigators puzzled as to a cause. The bodies of an elderly Hemet couple, Robert Reid, 84, and Thelma Reid, 75, were found late Thursday amid debris from the wreckage of the Lucky R, the cabin cruiser owned by their son, Charles Reid of Long Beach. Relatives told Coast Guard officials that Charles Reid also was aboard the boat, which was found demolished about 10 miles northeast of Avalon.
