KELLOGG, Idaho — One of the five missing fisherman from a Seattle-based fishing boat that sunk in the Gulf of Alaska on Tuesday lived in Kellogg, Idaho, according to his girlfriend.
Ashley Boggs told KREM that her boyfriend, Brock Rainey, worked on the F/V Scandies Rose that sank in the Gulf of Alaska on Tuesday. She said the couple lived in Indiana, but Rainey lived in a house in Kellogg, Idaho during fishing season.
Boggs also told KREM that they planned on getting married in March when he returned to Indiana.
The Coast Guard suspended the search for the five missing crew members, including Rainey, on Wednesday after covering 1,400 square miles of Alaskan waters due to adverse weather conditions.
Two crew members of the boat were rescued alive.
The “Scandies Rose” is based in Dutch Harbor, Alaska during the season but spent the off-season docked in Seattle. Its business operations are also located in the Seattle.
The Scandies Rose's last known position was 170 miles southwest of Air Station Kodiak, according to the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard will investigate what caused the “Scandies Rose” to sink. That could take up to a year before a report is filed.
