A body was found in San Francisco Bay on Thursday afternoon as crews continued efforts to recover three people missing in the sinking of a boat near Alcatraz Island on Tuesday.
The San Francisco Police Department said at approximately 1:02 p.m., officers assigned to a marine unit were conducting sonar scanning for the sunken boat when a passing vessel alerted them of a body in the water west of Treasure Island, located at the midpoint of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
