PORT FOURCHON, La. For a sixth day, rescue crews returned Sunday to a capsized lift boat in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana, looking for nine crew members who have not been found, the Coast Guard said.
Officials have released little information about their continuous search in the murky seas surrounding the capsized Seacor Power lift boat some 8 miles (13 kilometers) off the coast since announcing divers found two bodies inside the ship Friday night.
Six people were rescued alive after the boat capsized Tuesday in a storm. Four bodies have been found one Wednesday, one Thursday and two on Friday.
