Coast Guard halts search for five missing crew after fishing boat capsizes in Alaska.

The US Coast Guard has suspended its search for five missing crew members after their fishing boat, the Wind Walker, capsized off Point Couverden in the Gulf of Alaska. A distress call was received early Sunday, and search efforts covered over 108 square nautical miles. Despite finding seven empty immersion suits and two strobe lights, no signs of the boat or crew were found. The search was complicated by heavy snow and strong winds. The Coast Guard expressed condolences to the families of the missing crew.
