The overturned boat of three Hawaii fishermen who went missing has washed up on a remote Kauai beach.

The bodies of Derek Keone Tomas of Pearl City and Jenson Toshio Wah Bunn Loo of Mililani were found off Kauai on Friday. The third fisherman, Clint Oshima of Honolulu, hasn’t been found.
The men left Oahu’s North Shore early July 3 and were expected to return later in the day.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources says one of the fishermen recently purchased the boat, but no transfer paperwork had been filed. The department’s boating division has reached out to the last registered owner on record to discuss options for removing the boat.
