NEWBURYPORT — A human bone found near Plum Island last week has a New Hampshire family hopeful it could be from their missing relative, Joakim “Joe” Courteau, who disappeared this summer.
Courteau was last seen on The Great White leaving the mouth of the Merrimack River on a trip to Boston Harbor where it capsized and sank on Aug. 23. He never surfaced.
