STEVENSON, Wash. (AP) - The Coast Guard has suspended its search for three tribal fishermen missing since their boat capsized in the Columbia River this week.

The three members of the Yakama Nation left on the fishing trip Tuesday night and were expected to return Wednesday morning, but they never showed up. Searchers found their vessel near Stevenson, in Skamania County.

Teams searched the Columbia from east of the Bonneville Dam to the Wind River, but did not find the men, whose names have not been released. The effort was called off Thursday afternoon.
