A family fishing trip and birthday celebration ends in tragedy.
Three family members are dead and a fourth is missing after their charter boat capsized in a tragedy during a weekend fishing trip and birthday celebration in Alaska.
Brandi Tyau, 57, and Rob Solis, 61, of Canoga Park, were part of a group of eight family members from around the country who arrived May 25 in Alaska. Brandi Tyau's older brother, Mike Tyau, and his wife Nancy also were part of the trip in celebration of his sister's 56th birthday. "I think Brandi and Rob, you know they were just enjoying life," Mike Tyau said."That's why they were just so gung-ho to go this fishing trip."
The group went salmon fishing Sunday morning, then moved on to their next spot in rougher open waters. The Kingfisher Charters excursion separated into two groups, but only one of the charter boats returned to dock. Mike Tyau was on one boat with his wife and parents. Rob Solis, Brandi Tyau, her sister and her sister's partner were on the other boat.That afternoon, Mike Tyau's boat docked, but the other one was missing.
