Almost 10 months after the boat of a Texas family capsized off the coast of Homer, in Alaska, research revealed human remains at the bottom of the bay.
In August 2024, the American Coast Guard searched for disappeared boaters but suspended it without any observation.
David and Mary Maynard, from Troy, as well as their two sons – Colton Maynard, 11 and Brantley Maynard, 8 years old – disappeared after a 28 -foot aluminum boat carrying eight people capsized about 16 miles west of Homer, said the American Coast Guard.

Alaska state soldiers said they had three private companies – Alaska support ships, the vision of vision and benthic geoscience IN – Contact them to offer their professional tools to help research. With their help, they were able to locate the missing boat.
“At the beginning of May, the group was able to locate the ship in 180 feet of water and, using a remote vehicle, they were able to identify it positively as the missing boat with potential human remains on board,” reported the Troopers of the State of Alaska.
Since the discovery, the divers have recovered three sets of the cast ships and transported them to the delicate doctor’s office for positive identification and autopsy.

A gofundme posted when the family disappeared for the first time that the Maynords “left a huge footprint on many people”, of the laughter they brought to others to “love and the family -focused connection they provided”.
This expresses how missed they will be.
“It is indescribable the void that will be left behind, but I know that if we meet with the family and as a community, they would know how much they meant for everyone,” said the GoFundme.
