RedactedNarrative: Call came in of people in the water from a capsized vessel just south of Steck Park by the train trestle on Brownlee Reservoir.  Rescue from four different jurisdictions responded to assist.  Two victims made it ashore, two were still missing.  After approximately two hours of searching the little girl was found approximately 5 miles downriver floating face up, she was wearing a floatation device but it was not Coast Guard approved.  Marine Deputies recovered the victim and transported her to medics on the Oregon side but they were unable to resuscitate her, she was pronounced deceased on scene.  The search was suspended until morning.  I spoke with the operator of the boat and asked what happened, he advised that they had left Steck Park and preceded south they got just past the train trestle when they decided to throw the anchor and fish.  The operator advised that as soon as the anchor caught something it pulled the front of the boat down and under the water forcing all the occupants out of the boat.  This part of the river is very swift as it is a pinch point in the river.  I asked if they had life jackets in the boat and he advised no, he stated the little girl was wearing one but that no one else had one.  I asked how everybody was seated in the boat and he stated that he was the operator in the back the little girl and her dad (still missing) were seated side by side in the middle of the boat, and the other passenger was sitting in the front of the boat.  The boat was a fourteen foot outboard with a ten horse power motor.  I asked if they had left before or after dark, and he advised after dark.  I then asked what kind of lighting did they have and he advised a lantern and a couple of flash lights.  The search for the missing man continued for several days following the accident.  On June 12, 2011, a fisherman called dispatch and advised they could see something floating in the water, dispatched notified Deputies in the area.  Idaho Fish and Game responded and notified that it was possibly the drowning victim.  The Sheriff responded and the victim was recovered and transported back to Steck Park where the County Coroner retrieved the remains.  The Sheriff notified the family.
