March 28, 1968 [The Catalina Islander]: “The sea this week continued to take its toll of the unwary. A Marine Biology boat from Big Fisherman's Cover on Monday discovered a small cabin cruiser adrift in the Blue Caverns area with two dead bodies on board. The bodies were identified as Carl Jaeger, 26, of Marina del Rey and Janice Van Hoorebeke, 21, of Los Angeles. They were believed to have been dead for about 24 hours, according to the Avalon sheriff's deputies. Death was believed to have resulted by asphyxiation resulting from the use of a hibachi to heat the cabin of the craft. The bodies were returned to the mainland on Tuesday aboard a Shriff's department plane. ”
