A U.S. Coast Guard HH60 Jayhawk helicopter flies over Juneau in 2021. Coast Guard aircrews and boat crews have been involved in the search for the missing boaters near Sitka.
Maury Agcaoili, 57, of Waipahu, Hawaii, was found unresponsive in the water near the boat Sunday and later pronounced dead, according to authorities. His partner Danielle Agcaoili, 53, is among the missing boaters. The missing also include her sister Brandi Tyau, 56, of Canoga Park, California; Tyau’s partner, Robert Solis, 61; and the boat captain, Morgan Robidou, 32, of Sitka.
