AUBURN — Eleven years ago, the Beaupre family gathered on the banks of the Green River to scatter the ashes of patriarch Paul Beaupre, an avid fisherman who died at 72.

On Tuesday, the family was back at the river holding vigil as King County sheriff's deputies recovered the body of 2-year-old Hunter Beaupre from a car that had careened into the murky, brown water on Friday. Hunter was Paul Beaupre's grandson.

But the body of Hunter's 13-year-old cousin Austin Fuda, who also had been in the car when it plunged into the river, was not found in the battered Volkswagen Beetle. A search of the riverbank also turned up no sign of the teen, adding to the anguish of the family that has waited nearly a week for some sign of the two boys.

"We were hoping and praying he was in the car," said Kristin Fuda, Austin's aunt. "This is like another nightmare on top of everything."
