RedactedNarrative: Upon arriving on the scene, a friend of the operator/victim stated the operator left Indian Creek park around 11:00pm leaving him at the boat ramp.  Prior to this they had been fishing on the lake.  The friend decided to sleep in the operator's vehicle when after about an hour he said the operator did not return.  At 0300 Benton County received a call from the operator stating he was in a boat accident somewhere on the lake and his friend was missing.  The operator stated to Benton County he woke up near the swim beach and didn't know where his passenger/friend was and he had to use his trolling motor to get back to the ramp.  
   
  V1 sustained major damage to the bow, the driver's windshield and there was blood on the inside of V1.  However, there wasn't any blood on the windshield or driver's console but the blood was on the floor and seats to the rear and a bloody shirt and paper towels were left out in plain view.  No alcohol was located in V1 and the friend said they had not been drinking.  Shortly thereafter a woman came over and advised she knew the operator and stated he came over to her campsite and asked her to keep a cooler he was carrying for him.  She took the cooler and placed it in the trunk of her vehicle.  She opened her trunk and allowed me to look in the cooler; I observed a fifth of vodka with very little alcohol left in the bottle.  The operator had attempted to clean up the blood in V1 and conceal the cooler.  
   
  According to the GPS on V1 we located a dock where damage had occurred and concluded this was where the accident took place.  V1 struck the dock hard enough to break several 2 x 4 board and bend the met dock frame and shift the dock several feet.  The dock was approximately 1/4 mile from the Indian creek boat dock.  
   
  Upon interview, the operator did not remember what happened.
