The family of a Fox Island man has been notified by the Coast Guard that it is believed he was killed Monday when his plane crashed into Hood Canal, a relative said.
Neither the body of Robert Alexander Jr., 65, nor the plane have been
recovered from the water near Seabeck, where the depth is around 500 feet deep,
according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office. A search of the site turned up
debris as well as a wallet, the sheriff’s office said.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Alexander’s son that his family was notified his
father was likely on the plane. He declined further comment.
Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ken Dickinson said several calls about an airplane
in distress came in to dispatchers around 12:50 p.m.
