Efforts continue for missing couple

SAN PEDRO, Calif. It is believed that the boat carried the brother of Congresswomen Loretta and Linda Sanchez and his girlfriend.

Authorities say divers discovered the missing 26-foot boat on the ocean floor, five miles south of the entrance to L.A. harbor.

Henry Sanchez, 51, and 48-year-old Penny Avila were on the boat when it apparently struck a barge off San Pedro on their way to Catalina.

The two have not been found.
