RedactedNarrative: On July 31, 2021, at approximately 12:00am, Victims 1, 2, and 3 launched from the 1215 boat launch in Sabine Parish to go fishing on Toledo Bend. They left in a 14-foot aluminum boat with remote steering. Horsepower rating is unknown. Witness who talked the to three individuals before they left stated that there were three PFDs on the vessel. One black type III and two orange type II PFDs. During the night a friend tried to contact the three fishermen but had no response. 
          On July 31, 2021, at approximately 10am Lt. was notified of a vessel that did not return. Lt. and I, along with the Sabine Parish Sheriff Department begun searching for the vessel. We located the body of Victim 1; he was wearing the type III PFD. 
          On August 1, 2021, at approximately 7am, the bodies of 2 and 3 were located. The three fishermen were released to the Sabine Corners Office for autopsy. At this time the cause of the incident is unknown. Alcohol or drug use is known by two of the three. 
       At the time of the completion of the BARD Record, the vessel was still not found. Without witness/passenger statements or physical evidence of the vessel, it is impossible to determine the specifics of this incident. Identifying the vessel owner as the operator would seem logical, however would be only speculation. The causes of death were found to be drowning with no external injuries.
