ON APRIL 15th AT APROX 1:15pm AN UNOCCUPIED BOAT WAS FOUND GOING IN CIRCLES ON CASTLE ROCK LAKE. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES WHO HAD OBSERVED THE INCIDENT SO DETAILS ARE BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION AND BODY RECOVERY. VICTIMS HAD LAUNCHED THE BOAT AT THE CTH G LANDING NEAR THE BUCKHORN BRIDGE. THE VICTIMS FISHED IN THE BUCKHORN AREA BEFORE TRAVELING TO AN AREA NEAR THE BOY SCOUT CAMP. STEADY WINDS FROM THE SOUTH WEST CAUSED THE WATER TO BE FAIRLY ROUGH. AT SOME POINT THE TWO VICTIMS FELL OVERBOARD AND DROWNED. victim1 WAS RECOVERED 15 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT (APRIL 30). victim2 WAS RECOVERED 17 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT (MAY 2). BASED ON THE CLOTHING THE VICTIMS WERE WEARING WHEN THEIR BODY WAS RECOVERED --IT IS PRESUMED THAT victim1 MAY HAVE SWAM FOR SOME DISTANCE BEFORE DROWNING SINCE HE WAS NOT WEARING FOOTWEAR NOR A JACKET OR SWEATSHIRT. IT IS UNKNOWN IF victim2 HAD ATTEMPTED TO SWIM TO SHORE.
