timeline
Lead #3What caused the vessel to sink in the severe weather conditions? Was it structural failure, navigation error, or other factors?
Mickey Allen Aus, a 35-year-old man, went missing on February 27, 1990, when the fishing vessel he was aboard sank while traveling from Blaine, Washington to King Cove, Alaska. Severe weather conditions with 60-knot winds and 27-foot seas hampered search efforts, and only a life raft, emergency beacon, and one survival suit were recovered 70 miles southeast of Cordova. Though presumed deceased along with two fellow crew members, the case remains unsolved as no bodies were ever recovered, leaving questions about the exact circumstances of the sinking.
