After an exhaustive operation to locate three missing Americans sailing to San Diego, the Mexican Navy has suspended search operations, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
A Coast Guard commander said that the missing sailboat carrying a Pa. native through the Pacific Ocean could have encountered 20-foot waves or higher when the weather turned bad earlier this month.
Officials have said Kerry O'Brien, Frank O'Brien and William Gross were aboard the 44-foot sailing vessel "Ocean Bound" when they were last heard from on April 4.
