Judith Carlile’s body was recovered by a U.S. Coast Guard crew at 5:30 a.m. Sunday near Roque Island. Authorities said the first report of the body came from a lobsterman.

Their 13-foot-long green canoe has not been found. According to Marine Patrol, the two own a cabin in Jonesport. A cooler believed to have been taken out in the canoe by the two people was found floating about a mile and half further north in the bay that afternoon, he said.

The Coast Guard has a 47-foot boat on the scene and will continue searching overnight.
