Brother of Sanchez sisters missing

The brother of U.S. Reps. Linda and Loretta Sanchez is missing off the coast of Southern California after an apparent boating accident.

According to a Friday statement from the Sanchez sisters, officials found debris off the coast that contained fragments from the boat their brother Henry was sailing on with his girlfriend, Penny Avila.

The Coast Guard says Sanchez and Avila left Alamitos Bay earlier this week, but never arrived at their destination, Santa Catalina, according to a report by the Associated Press.
