Police found the wreckage of the Volare in San Francisco Bay on Friday, a day after recovering the body of Tondra Madruga, 58, also known as Tondra Miller, while two people remained missing from the 49-foot cabin cruiser that carried 20 people when it capsized. [1]

The boat was taking family and friends to scatter a loved one's ashes when a wave reportedly struck it, but that description does not establish why the vessel overturned or whether its condition, loading, operation or safety equipment contributed. [1]

No verified X post closes AP's search record, and although police located the vessel with boat-mounted sonar in about 120 feet of water and planned to use a remotely operated vehicle to assess safe recovery, wreckage remains evidence awaiting examination rather than a completed cause. [1]

Clifford Boisa died after rescuers pulled him from cold water, Madruga was found two days after the sinking, and Good Samaritans and first responders rescued the others while police continued looking for Carol Boisa and Jackie Boisa after the Coast Guard suspended its broader search. [1]

Recovery establishes who has been found, identification restores a name, vessel examination may explain the capsize, and maintenance, weather, passenger accounting and operator records may establish responsibility, but on Friday one family had another body to mourn, two people were still absent and the bay had yielded the boat without its explanation.
