Meyer said that his wife and teenage daughter had fallen overboard when their 48-foot boat caught fire during a fishing trip in Salisbury Sound. Divers searched the area, but the two women were not found.   Sitka, Alaska - photo NOAA Sergeant Randy McPherron of Alaska State Troopers led an investigation into the Meyer case which included the FBI and the Sitka Police Department. In August, 1996, investigators in Delta located the burned boat and filmed it from the submersible. They later retrieved the boat's engines and other evidence that were used to bring criminal charges against Meyer. Sgt. R.
