RedactedNarrative: On July 8, 2015 at approximately 0700 hours two people went fishing at the Charleston Jetties vicinity. They launched their vessel SC-8778-AA an 18ft. Glass Master Center Console with a 90hp. Honda outboard engine at Remley's Point Boat Ramp in Mt. Pleasant. They were both seen at approximately 1200 to 1230 hours in the vicinity of buoy number 19 in the Charleston Jetties by another fisherman. Occupant's girlfriend called in a missing person report the next day on July 9th at 0829 hours after they did not return from their fishingtrip. The vessel SC-8778-AA was located by the US Coast Guard plane at approximately 1530 hours 1ONM East of Bull Island in the ocean floating upside down with no survivors. SCDNR and US Coast Guard air assets swept the ocean and coastal beaches every day and night for the first week along with water assets from the Charleston area. The search then turned into a recovery mission that only SCDNR continued to search all the way to the North Carolina border. The North Carolina state agencies were notified to be on the lookout as well while patrolling. After three weeks of patrols for recovery the efforts were scaled back to collateral efforts while patrolling offshore and by air during normal work assignments. Operator and Occupant were never located. The US Coast Guard issued Letters of Presumed Death for Operator and Occupant due to the overwhelming evidence. The capsized vessel SC-8778-AA was located offshore and the overwhelming efforts made collectively to first perform a search and rescue that later revolved into a recovery effort with no remains found.
