RedactedNarrative: GW was contacted by Cowley Dispatch at approximately 1221 hrs on Tuesday, 4262022, about a possible missing boater at Winfield City Lake. Dispatch advised that their RP reported that they found a boat beached on the shore on the north side of the city lake with no one in or around the boat.  
  
  GW then received a phone call from Subject1 who advised that they saw this boat about an hour earlier with a person in the water behind the boat and thought they may have been working on something.  This information was later relayed to GW that when they saw the person in the water behind the boat they thought the person was approximately 15 feet behind the boat.  
  
  An hour later, approximately 1220 hrs is when they found the boat beached on the shore with no one in or around the boat, and immediately called 911 to report.  GW arrived on scene at the north side of city lake and assisted with the search and getting resources enroute to the location.  GW looked at the boat that was beached and found both the motor and trolling motor down in the water not running.  
  
  Fishing poles were laid out all around the boat.  A single type III lifejacket was left wide open on the drivers seat.  The key to the main motor was turned off.  No fishing poles or line appeared to be out or wrapped around any prop.  All indications were that someone in the boat was either ejected or fell overboard. 
  
   GW assisted with the search using KDWP boat and sonar equipment.  Victim was located on sonar 360 at approximately 1639 hrs in about 9 feet of water approximately half way between where the boat and person was last seen and the final resting spot of the boat.  The victim was located about 30 to 40 yards off shore.  The fire department divers were then able to dive on the location found and were able to locate and recover the victim at approximately 1700 hrs. The victims boat was requested by the family through the Winfield Police Department  to be released to Subject1 and loaded up on the trailer to be removed.  All boats and equipment was then loaded up and all personel cleared the scene at approximately 1830 hrs. Nothing further to report at this time
  
  The key to the engine was off, but the trolling motor was found set on high/intermittent which led us to believe when the trolling motor was turned on it may have thrusted unexpectedly ejecting the operator.
