JUNEAU, Alaska—Two bodies have been recovered amid debris from a fishing boat that reportedly capsized with five people aboard in rough seas in waters off southeast Alaska earlier this month.

Authorities believe the two individuals had been on the boat based on evidence found at the site Monday, including buoys and other gear associated with the Wind Walker, Austin McDaniel, a spokesperson with the Alaska Department of Public Safety, said by email Tuesday.
