DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. - Officials expected to identify a body recovered off of Dauphin Island as that of a fourth member of an Alabama family of five reported missing during a shark fishing trip. <br> <br> The body, found at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, was believed to be 32-year-old Beverly Krumm, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Chad Saylor. The body was discovered by a resident near shore on the west end of the island. <br> <br> &#34;They believe that it is her, but there is no positive ID on that,&#34; he said. <br> <br> If a positive ID is made, the only remaining family member still missing would be 12-year-old Christina Larinan, Beverly Krumm&#39;s daughter. <br> <br> Officials identified a second body found Sunday as that of Beverly Krumm&#39;s husband, Rodney Krumm, 45, Saylor said. A local rescue crew discovered his body at about 1 p.m. in waters near Dauphin Island. <br> <br> The body of James Taylor, 33, was discovered Saturday by boaters around noon, about 2½ miles southeast of Dauphin Island. He had accompanied his sister&#39;s family on a fishing trip, setting out March 9 from coastal Baldwin County into the Gulf of Mexico. <br> <br> The 32-foot, refurbished shrimp boat the family rented to go shark fishing reportedly was ill-equipped and unseaworthy. Debris found later suggested the vessel had broken apart in the gulf. <br> <br> The body of Rodney Krumm&#39;s daughter, Sabrina Krumm, 19, of Kingman, Ariz., was recovered Monday near Horn Island off the Mississippi Coast. <br> <br> Three helicopters, a plane and two search-and-rescue boats have been searching for the 32-foot converted shrimping boat since a relative of the family reported they were missing. <br> <br>
