No signs of the missing six crew members who were aboard the F/V Lily Jean, which sank off the coast of Cape Ann, Massachusetts in January, were found during a search of the vessel's crew quarters, according to a local media report.

Massachusetts State Police crews searched the waters above the wreckage on Wednesday and used cameras to search the interior of the vessel, according to WCVB. After a 90-minute search focused on the crew quarters, no human remains were found, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told the outlet.

The body of the ship's captain, Accursio "Gus" Sanfilippo, was recovered from the site, but the rest of the crew — Freeman Short, Paul Beal Sr., Paul Beal Jr., John Rousanidis, Sean Therrien and Jada Samitt — are still missing.

"As part of an ongoing effort to help bring closure to the families of the lost crew, the Massachusetts State Police Marine Unit and Underwater Recovery Team and Massachusetts Environmental Police conducted a joint mission to assess the Lily Jean's wreckage using an ROV," Karissa Hand, a spokesperson for Governor Maura Healey, told WCVB. "This mission provided additional information about the vessel's condition, which is being reviewed, and we continue to keep in close contact with the families."

The state led the search after the U.S. Navy told Massachusetts officials that it would not assist with the recovery efforts. The Navy's refusal to assist drew criticism from elected officials and the relatives of the missing crew members.

State Senator Bruce Tarr said the Navy's response was "disappointing" and said he would pursue answers for the families.

“We will continue to pursue all available avenues to obtain any possible information that can shed light on the cause of the sinking,” he said in a statement.

Donna Short, the mother of crew member Freeman Short, told Boston 25 that she has been pushing for recovery efforts, and said she will continue to have hope that she'll see her son again.

“Sleep is elusive right now,” she told the outlet on Tuesday. “I always have hope as long as I’m breathing.”

She said she will continue to fight for answers in the hopes that they can help prevent future tragedies and loss of life.

“My son was an amazing man, and if I can prevent another amazing man to suffer the same fate, my son would want that. My son would want me to know, ‘Mom, I left and here is why,’” she said.

The state is continuing its investigation. In addition to finding the missing sailors, the state investigators are also hoping to recover equipment from the ship that can shed light on what caused it to sink.
