BASED ON INFORMATION TO DATE: 
In a telephone interview on 3/13/09 Occupant 1 stated that on 3/8/09 he and Occupant 2 arrived at Blue Bank Resort on Reelfoot Lake at approximately 7:30 am. After checking in they loaded their equipment in a resort boat and left the resort by boat.  They went to the northside of "Green Island" to fish for Crappie. The weather was good at that time with 1-2' waves.  At approximately 9:30-10:00 a.m they noticed the wind had increased a great deal.  With Occupant 1 operating they left their location and started back to the resort.  As they rounded the island to the west they had waves 4'-6' feet and water started to come into the boat.  Occupant 1 stated he headed the boat into the waves and within 10-15 seconds they capsized.  They got on the overturned boat and were washed off 4-5 times.  They yelled for help through out the day but were not heard until after dark.  
At approximately 8:00 pm rescue personnel  from Obion County arrived.  The boat was recovered.  Occupant 1 stated he was hospialized from Sunday night until Thursday morning for hypothermia.
I checked with Obion County sheriff's departmemt which stated their officer arrived on scene at 19:57 and EMS tansported one individual to Union City Baptist Hospittal at 20:53 for hypothermia.  The responding sheriff's department officer did not file a report.
I contact Occupant 1 again on 3/20/09 and asked for a list and monetary amount of the personal property lost.  The information is included in this report.
