Published: March 25, 2009
NEW JERSEY - Hopes are fading, but the search has gone into the night for four fishermen missing off the coast of New Jersey.
Their boat 71-foot scallop boat - Lady Mary - sank early Tuesday about 75 miles off the coast with seven people aboard.
Only one survivor has been found. Two of the three crew members pulled from the icy water by a Coast Guard helicopter died.
Two helicopters, an airplane and two boats have been using powerful search lights to search a 225-square-mile area for the remaining people.
The Coast Guard says all seven crew members were wearing cold-water survival suits, but a national search and rescue expert says odds are slim they are still alive in the 40-degree water.
