CA Representitive’s Brother Missing at Sea

---

California representatives Loretta and Linda Sanchez’s brother and his girlfriend are suspected to have been in a boating accident Last Friday, and are still missing at sea.

The United States Coast Guard has been searching for them for five days. They have recovered pieces of the boat and articles of clothing but have not found the bodies of Henry Sanchez and Penny Avila. They had used dive teams and sonar trying to locate the bodies underwater. They have now covered more than a 300 mile radius in their recovery mission. The Los Angeles Fire Department, County Sheriff’s department and the Port of Los Angeles Police have also been involved in this search and recovery mission.

With so many departments and the United States Coast guard involved, this is costing taxpayers additional funds out of pocket. Is it fair for taxpayers to be funding a rescue mission lasting five days that spans far out into the Pacific Ocean? Will bodies ever be recovered? Would this rescue effort last this long in Henry and Penny were not related to congresswomen? Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.
