CARSON, Wash. (AP) - The bodies of all three Yakama tribal fishermen missing in the Columbia River since their boat capsized May 7 have now been found.

Tribal Chairman Ralph Sampson Jr. said Tuesday the bodies of Rommel Strom and Gailen Espirito were found just west of the mouth of the Wind River, near Carson, Wash.

Searchers recovered the body of James Peter Jr. in the same area on Sunday.

Yakama Nation police, relatives of the fishermen and Skamania County officials had searched for their bodies.
