  On August 03, 2014, at approximately 5:04 PM, units from the DeWitt County Sheriff''s Department, DeWitt County EMS, and Clinton Fire Department were dispatched to Clinton Lake, in the area of Lynn Cove, for a report of a boat taking on water. 
  
  DeWitt County SPD Deputy located the vessel, on a trailer, at the IP Point boat launch. Dpty. interviewed witnesses, boat owners and occupants. Her preliminary investigation determined subjects were boating with family members on Clinton Lake in the vicinity of Lynn Point when their motor stopped working and the vessel began taking on water. The Subjects called DeWitt County CENCOM for help and hailed passing boats. Goodsam realized the Subjects were in distress and stopped to help them. He towed the Subjects’ vessel to IP Point boat dock. Upon arrival to IP Point, subject loaded Subjects’ watercraft onto his trailer to keep it from sinking.

  INVESTIGATIVE FOLLOW-UP: TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2014 5:15 PM 
  On August 12, 2014, at around 5:15 PM, I [CPO] conducted a follow-up investigative interview with subjects at their residence. The information they provided closely matched the information gathered by Deputy on August 03. The Subjects were not certain where the accident took place. I showed Operator a Google Earth image of Clinton Lake, in the area of Lynn Point, and asked him to indicate the approximate location. I placed a marker on the Google Earth map location Operator pointed out. He stated they were traveling in a northerly direction, at a speed of 30 - 35 mph, when the accident occurred. Wife described hearing a "bang" prior to the boat stopping and taking on water. Operator was of the opinion he had struck an unknown, fixed, underwater object. The Subjects did not see anything [stumps, rocks, etc.] above the waterline where the incident took place. After they got towed to IP Point, and loaded the boat onto trailer, Operator realized the accident had pulled the lower unit away from the rear of his boat. Subjects provided a written statement [ATTACHED]. 
  
  The Subjects’ vessel was not available for inspection at the time of interview on August 12. Operator had delivered the boat to Hennepin Marine for repair. According to Operator, the estimated cost to repair his boat is $8,800.00. 
  
  Wife stated she had pictures of the vessel damage. She agreed to email them to me. At the time of this report, I have not received the photographs. When I receive the photographs, they will be maintained in my report file and available upon request [2014-3-401-015B]. 
  
  CASE CLOSED.
