Upon arrival at the scene, V1 operator identified the approximate location of the incident.  Statements indicate that victim 1 was swimming a short distance from V1 when his sister (victim 2) jumped into the water.  She initially was going to just slide off V1 and hang onto the boat; but one of the occupants told her to "jump" into the water.  Due to high winds, V1 began to drift away from the victims.  Victim 2 began to struggle and panic.  V1 occupants attempted to throw a PFD to victim 2; however the winds caught the PFD and blew it away. Victim 1 noticed victim 2 struggling and he swam to assist her; shortly after they both went under.  
 
Victim 1 was the only occupant of V1 who knew how to operate he vessel in a safe manner; even though it was rented to the listed operator of V1. 
 
Search efforts by multiple departments ensued, utilizing sonar and divers.  On 07-01-13 the Missouri Highway Patrol Sonar Team arrived to assist and at approx. 9pm they located 2 images believed to be the victims.  The AGFC dive team dove and recovered both victims located approx. 15 feet apart.
