Body Found Near Sinking Boat Off Baja California
Searchers found a woman's body and footprints on a Baja California beach near where two pleasure-cruiser families sank last week. A 15 man team recovered a life jacket and clothing near Denise Winter who swam ashore last Saturday, while a second adult woman in a lifejacket washed up nearby. Authorities weighed whether the body was Denise's mother or Mrs. Hugh V. Wynn, as Coast Guard notes clarified the earlier Harvey Wynn and son Art were among the victims. Fresh water near footprints raised optimism for other survivors from the Warren Winter family region.
