RedactedNarrative: victim was reported missing to the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office.  I, Sgt. was contacted at approximately 2:00am on 03/11/2012 by Major of the MPSO.  Major requested our assistance in the search for Victim.  He advised that Victim was believed to have gone finishing the afternoon prior and never returned.  He stated that Victim' vessel was tied to the bank behind his residence.  An extensive search of the lake and surrounding areas began at approximately 3:00am on March 11.  The body of Victim surfaced on March 16 and was sent to Little Rock, AR for autopsy.  The examining physician stated the cause of death as "freshwater drowning".  Not a single witness ever came forward that witnessed Victim fall overboard into the water.  I was present when his body surfaced, and I assisted in retrieving him from the water.  His body was initially located roughly eighty yards from where his small aluminum boat was found tied to a tree.  No one ever came forward and admitted to being with subject or moving his vessel after it was found tied to the bank.  One has to assume that he either swam from the bank eighty yards and then drowned or that his vessel capsized in the lake and he drowned.  If the latter happened, then someone was either with him when he entered the water or someone found his vessel afloat and tied it to the bank behind his residence.  Much can be left to supposition.
