RedactedNarrative: On Friday August 17, 2018 at 1728, we received a call from the NC Marine Fisheries about two missing boaters near North Creek in the Pamlico River.  We arrived on scene around 1830 and met with Marine Fisheries.  The Coast Guard was already patrolling the area as they were notified at 1618.  We were told the boat left the dock at Potters Marina around noon on Friday.  
  Around 1600 on August 17th, the boat was found drifting next to the bank 150 yards from where the subjects reside.  Subject1 was able to get in the boat and drive it to his personal dock where he secured the boat on his lift.  Subject1 stated the swim ladder was down on the boat.  Subject1 is also the one who contacted the Coast Guard.  The wind was blowing out of the South West at the time the boat was found drifting.  At 1918 Officers went to look at the boat at Subject1's residence.  The subject's clothes were laying in the back of the boat with a towel over them and their phones were in the consoles of the boat.  There were also life vests in the right console of the boat. There were two empty beer bottles in the cup holders on each side of the boat.  At 1900 Beaufort County Emergency services were dispatched.  Their Command Center was set up at Potters Marina.  Upon talking to the son and daughter of the boaters, it was determined they did not have the normal life vest they normally wear because they were found in the residence.  
  The search for the missing boaters continued all night Friday and into Saturday morning on August 18th.  The GPS was taken out of the boat and used to determine where the missing boaters may have gotten in the water.  Grid patterns where then set out so each fire department/agency could search different areas for the boaters.  Sonar was also used to search.  On Sunday August 19th, at 0753 the body of the male was found.  At 0824 the body of the female was found within 400 yards of the male.  Both Bodies were found in North Creek.  The male did not have any clothes on and the female only had a bra on.  Both bodies were then turned over to Emergency services where they were transported back to Potters Marina.
