The U.S. Coast Guard has released the names of the missing people:

A Coast Guard spokeswoman advises the names are "pending verification internally and with the Alaska State Troopers for accuracy."
Kapp, of Sitka, is the owner of the F/V Wind Walker, the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission database shows.
