Missing boater's remains found on Green Island

The mother of a missing boater confirms his remains were found on Green Island Saturday morning.

Tina Salnik says she received a call Saturday afternoon confirming the body of her son, Billy Salnik, had been discovered on Green Island that morning.

"At least we got some closure," Tina said through tears on the phone. "Now we don't have to sit around and wait and wonder."

The bodies of Salnik's children, Charolette and Joshua, were discovered in waters off of Door County in July after Billy's sailboat was found capsized.

"It's devastating," Tina said of Saturday's news. She says the family will now begin to plan a memorial for Billy.

NBC 26 will update with more information.
