LOS ANGELES — The bodies of the brother of two Southern California congresswomen and his girlfriend have been recovered from the waters off Los Angeles, days after the couple disappeared, authorities said Thursday.

The bodies of Henry Sanchez, 51, and Penny Avila, 48, were pulled from the wreckage of Sanchez’s 26-foot motorboat on Wednesday.

Sanchez is the brother of Democratic Reps. Loretta and Linda Sanchez, the nation’s first sisters in Congress.

It appeared the boat collided with a supply barge being towed by a tugboat from Catalina Island to the Los Angeles harbor, officials said.
