LaPush: Two more bodies found from capsized boat

LAPUSH — Two more family members from Eastern Washington missing since a boating accident last week have been pulled from the ocean about 10 miles south of LaPush.

The bodies of James Starr, 19, of Spokane, and his cousin, Ryan Floch, 21, of Odessa were discovered Wednesday by fishermen on the trawler Tatoosh about five miles off shore.

The men were in their lifejackets, floating about two miles apart, Coast Guard officials said.
