RedactedNarrative: At approximately 0630 hours on April 13, 2015 I, OFC, received a call from our communications center regarding a possible missing person.  I was instructed to assist Charles County Sheriff's Department at Saunders Marina.  Upon arrival I met with OFF. with the Charles County Sheriffs Department and they stated that they had received a call from the Maryland State Police in Salisbury, MD regarding an overdue boater.       
  
        Operator parked his truck, a 2003 Silver Ford pickup with a tag number MD 90R 600,and used the marinas boat ramp to launch his vessel, a white 12' aluminum boat with Maryland registration 1676 BH.   
  
      A surface / shoreline search of the Wicomico River and immediate area was initiated.   The USCG recovered the vessel at approximately 1030 hours off the mouth of Monroe Creek on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. The USCG used the location of the vessel to set up a grid pattern to begin a search for Operator. 
  
     We towed the vessel to Shymansky's Marina. Myself and OFC. resumed the search for Operator. At approximately 1445 hours  the USCG, St. Inigoes division, located the body of  Operator near Cobb Point Bar, they recovered the body and transported him to Shymansky's Marina where the responsibility of the investigation was turned over to CPL. of NPR Investigations.
  
      Operator's boat, boat trailer and trailer hitch were transported to Matapeake storage facility.
  
      All events occurred in Charles County.
