RedactedNarrative: We arrived on scene at approximately 2:15 p.m.  I made contact with Caddo Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol. Lt. stated that subject had contacted CPSO Dispatch about a small jon boat adrift on Twelve Mile Bayou at approximately 8:30 a.m. on 6/23/11.  Lt. stated that she arrived on scene at approxmiately 9:15 a.m. and located the jon boat.  The boat was partially submerged and had come to rest in a partially submerged tree top.  Lt. pulled the vessel to the bank and observed a dark colored Dodge truck parked at the top of the bank.  She observed what appeared to be drag marks from the back of the truck to the water.  
  
  Deputies were dispatched to Victim's residence.  At the residence they made contact with Victim's wife who had reported him missing to Shreveport Police Department, Report #: P11136.  Victim’s wife advised that her husband had left home to go fishing between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on 6/22/11.  She stated that she had not had any contact with him since that time.  Victim’s wife stated that her husband had several medical issues and that it was out of character for him not to make contact with her.  At this time it was also determined that Victim did indeed have a small jon boat.  Sr. Agt. and I photographed the vessel and did not observe any signs of a collision or foul play.  The vessel was a 10' 2" long jon boat with a 30" bottom.  We also did not see any floating debris in the water or any sign of a PFD.  CPSO Dive Team searched the area for several hours until the team was exhausted.  The search was called off at 7:40 p.m.  A plan was coordinated to meet up at the Stoner Boat Launch on Red River the next morning to resume the search.  The next morning, 6/24/11 at approxmately 6:30 a.m. while enroute to the boat launch Lt. crossed over Twelve Mile Bayou on La. Hwy. 538 and observed what appeared to be a body floating in the water.  Sgt. arrived on scene at approximately 7:00 a.m. and located the body.  The victim was then transported to the Common Street Boat Launch and turned over to the Caddo Parish Coroner.  At this time we are waiting on the coroner's report as to the cause of death and any signs of alcohol or drug use by the victim.
