Overview
- A 49‑50‑foot cabin cruiser called the Volare capsized and sank on July 14 while carrying about 20 family members and friends on a memorial trip to scatter ashes.
- Officials confirmed late Monday that the body recovered near Point Diablo was 74‑year‑old Carol Boisa, the third person linked to the incident to be identified.
- To date rescuers have recovered three bodies, rescued 16 people and recovered a dog that died, while one passenger remains missing and is presumed dead.
- The sunken Volare was located on the bay floor at roughly 120–130 feet, so authorities have shifted from surface searches to sonar and remotely operated vehicle inspections because diving and raising the vessel are risky and technically difficult.
- Investigators are examining why the boat took on water and whether people were trapped inside the cabin after some first responders reported seeing steam or smoke in the early rescue moments, and the medical examiner is notifying next of kin as the probe continues.
