RedactedNarrative: On June 29 2019, at approximately 3:26 pm, I received a call from DNR Communications in reference to an overturned kayak at the mouth of Spa Creek, located off of the Severn River in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, MD. It was reported that one person from the overturned kayak was missing in the water. I subsequently made emergency response from Sandy Point State Park aboard a marked NRP patrol vessel. At approximately 4:00pm, I arrived at the entrance of Spa Creek.  United States Coast Guard personnel already on scene reported that a 40 year old female had gone underwater when her kayak flipped and had not resurfaced.  United States Coast Guard personnel also stated she was not wearing a personal floatation device.  Other Maryland Natural Resources Police personnel arrived and began to interview witnesses on shore.  I began a surface search, along with units from the United States Coast Guard, Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland State Police Aviation, Anne Arundel County Fire Department, and Annapolis Fire Department.  The surface search was suspended at approximately 4:30pm due to severe weather.  At approximately 6:00pm, the surface search resumed, but I was instructed to clear the scene in order to answer a separate call for assistance from the United States Coast Guard.  On July 2 2019, I entered details regarding the two kayaks that were recovered and retained by Maryland Natural Resources Police for safekeeping into RMS until such time the owner can take possession of them.  I would later learn that the deceased victim was recovered by Anne Arundel County/Annapolis City Fire Department rescue divers. This investigation is ongoing.  
  
  When I returned to the dock, they were two subjects in the ambulance. The first subject advised that his girlfriend and he were kayaking back to Truxton Park. Victim’s boyfriend suggested that they had gotten separated along the way and due to the conditions of the water and boat traffic, he had turned back to close the distance between them. At some point during this time, Victim dumped out of her kayak. 
  
  Victim’s boyfriend advised that Victim was talking to him and he told her to grab the life jacket off the kayak. Victim’s boyfriend tried to lift the kayak onto to his kayak in an attempt to empty the water. Victim’s boyfriend advised that he thought Victim was assisting him with righting the kayak. It was at this time that Victim’s boyfriend realized that Victim had disappeared. Victim’s boyfriend stated that they were approximately 200 yds off of Annapolis Maryland Capital Yacht Club.  At approximately 1617hrs, I requested a crisis team respond to the area for Victim’s boyfriend. The other person with Victim’s boyfriend in the ambulance was subject1. Subject1 was on her boat in the area when she and her boyfriend noticed two kayaks with no one in them. As they approached the kayaks, Subject1 advised that she heard someone screaming to "help him, help him." Subject1 immediately jumped into the water and helped Victim’s boyfriend.
