SAN DIEGO
Maria Eugenia Chavez Segovia boarded the 40-foot, trawler-like boat with few items: identification, prayer cards, rosary beads and some Mexican pesos.
The 41-year-old from a small town in central Mexico hoped to work in agriculture in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Her aspiration rested on the boat, which she and 31 other migrants with their own ambitions crowded aboard.
But none of them made it to their intended destinations. The boat crashed into a reef off Point Loma on May 2 and splintered.
Chavez Segovia and two others drowned. Another person remains hospitalized, his lungs recovering from resuscitation. The rest are in federal detention as material witnesses to their own attempted smuggling in the unfolding prosecution against the suspected boat captain.
