They went missing a couple weeks ago while out fishing and there have been searches since then, with the exception of a day or so when the weather was too bad.

The bassist for the Velcro Pygmies and his brother were the ones missing. The bassist was found today. I can't imagine what their parents have been going through.

Jeremiah Sanders, left, and his brother Jacob Sanders went missing March 2 on Florence Harbor. Jeremiah, 29, was general manager of Ricatoni's in Florence and 24-year-old Jacob was the bass player for the popular band Velcro Pygmies.

The body of one of two brothers missing since a March 2 boating accident on Florence Harbor has been found and rescuers continue searching for the second.

A fisherman found the body of 24-year-old Jacob "Jake" Sanders Tuesday morning near Colbert County's Pride Landing, about 10 miles from where the damaged fishing boat belonging to Sanders and his brother, 29-year-old Jeremiah "Jim" Sanders, was found early May 3.

quote:
The brothers, both of Florence, were reported missing the night of March 2 after they failed to return on time from a fishing outing on Florence Harbor. Their bass boat was found overturned and trapped under Singing River Bridge the next morning.

I read earlier, that a fisherman found one of the bodies, I didn't know which one. So many things can go wrong night fishing, it compounds problems when the water is cold, like it is now.
