RedactedNarrative: Myself and l received a call from the radio room at approximately 2000 on may 26, 2012 about a possible overdue boater. The information was received from the caller was that her husband and his friend had been on the water all day. They had put in at randolph's landing and were going to either the dam or the brickyard. We were told they drove a burgandy ford f150 and launched an 80's model glasstron boat with a 90 hp johnson motor. We copied both men's phone numbers and attempted to call them then went to randolph's landing to locate the truck. we ran the truck information through the radio room and got the boat information as well. We then sent out the information to the other dnr boats and began to search. At approximately 0130 on may 27, 2012 we decided to call the search for the night and have the plane come the next morning. At 0300 we received another call that the men had been recovered near brickyard. Upon interviewing the men afterwards they said they were approaching randolph's landing at 1400 on may 26, 2012 when the boat ran out of gas. While trying to change the gas tanks out the boat it swamped with water due to the water conditions. The two men fell in the water, and attempted to call for help. Due to the wind conditions they went from an eastern to a western position drifing from randolph's landing to the orangeburg side of the lake at a place called the brickyard. Due to the nature of this incident, we are unable to get exact gps coordinates or a precise location of the original accident.
