The boat reportedly capsized near Alder Creek as a large storm moved into the area. The boat, with five people on board, was trying to leave the area as the storm approached but the engine would not start. Someone on another boat attempted to help jumpstart the boat but the efforts were unsuccessful.

As the storm approached, the boat began to capsize. The driver of the other boat, and their passenger, were reportedly able to help rescue three of the five people on the stranded boat.

Two of them, 52-year-old Rick Le Grand and 41-year-old Deanna Peterson, were not able to be located. On Tuesday, MCSO officials say the recovered Peterson’s body, but are still looking for Le Grand.
