Operator and Occupant 1 had borrowed a canoe from Owner 1 and put in at 106th ST. It was approximately 2:00 PM. They canoed down river to the area of Owner 1's home and were going to take out there. As they approached, there was a tree limb extending out, over and into the water from the side of the bank. They tried to go between the river bank and the limb, but the bow went into the limb and was forced down. The boat then pivoted so that it was perpendicular to the current. The water started to come in over the up river side and the canoe capsized. Both subjects went into the water. The subjects had been sitting on their PFDs and not wearing them. They both were able to grab hold of the canoe, but hypothermia was quickly affecting them. Occupant 1 told Operator “We have to make it to shore” As she started for shore she heard him call for help and she told him to “push through” Operator again called for help as she  got to shore. Occupant 1 could see he was free of the boat, possibly with the bow rope in his hand.
	Occupant 1 got onto the bank and started to disrobe. She was wearing silk undershirt, wool sweater & jacket, long johns and sweat pants. She was having trouble with buttons, but finally got her jacket off. She called for help, called for victim and then ran up the hill to Owner 1's home. This is where they had planned to take out.
	Owner 1 heard what he thought was a dog barking and looked out his window to see the canoe and an object go floating down river. He then realized it was someone calling for help. He ran outside, found out what happened, called 911 and slid his PWC into the river. Owner 1 went down river to the canoe but did not find Operator. Owner 1 made four to five trips between his home and the canoe without finding the victim. He returned to his home to get some heavier clothing. He made three to four more trips to the canoe and back without find Operator. Owner 1 did pull the canoe out onto the shore.
	Operator was wearing a black fleece cap, rain coat, red plaid pants, and leather hiking boots. According to his father he was not a strong swimmer. Occupant 1 stated they did not have any drugs or alcohol. They had been snacking on trail mix, fruit & cheese. 
	The Indianapolis Fire Department arrived and conducted a boat search of the area, but was unable to locate the victim. IMPD flew over the river with a spotlight & FLIR but they too were unable to locate the victim. The search was discontinued until 09:00 on 2/15/09
	On 2/15/09 I along with Officers 2, 3 and 4 put in at Lake Indy boat ramp and searched from the 16th St Bridge up river to the accident location. IFD put in their hovercraft at Lake Indy and went north. They also put two Jon boats in up by the accident site and worked south. The victim was not located by boat, so IFD put a sonar unit in the water, but did not locate anything. 
	2/16/09 Officer 5 brought his side-scan sonar and boat over from Dist. 5. He and Officer 4 worked the area of the accident. IFD had cadaver dogs come in and ride in their boats and walk the bank. They also had their urban search team walk both sides of the river down to the Michigan Rd Bridge.  Officer 2 and I did a boat search from the 16th St. Bridge to the accident site. Nothing was located by the dogs or search team, but Officer 5 did see something on sonar. A drag bar was deployed and hooked a couple of things, but not the victim.
2/17/09 I checked from the 16th St. Bridge to the site and back without success. 
Officer 2 and I checked the river on 2/25/09 and IFD checked it on 2/24/09. Officer 6 and 2 ran it on 3/9/09. All were without success.
