Remains of Texas family missing in Alaska believed to be recovered
- On August 3, 2024, the Maynard family of four disappeared after their 28-foot aluminum boat overturned near a location roughly 16 miles offshore from Homer Spit in Alaska.
- Initial efforts to find the family were unsuccessful, and after ten months, the U.S. Coast Guard ended the search; the reason for the boat’s sinking has yet to be determined.
- A search team located the sunken boat in 180 feet of water in early May 2025 using a remotely operated vehicle, confirming it as the Maynards’ vessel.

- The recovery of all four remains closes the search but leaves the cause of the accident undetermined, with positive identification for one set still pending.
