RedactedNarrative: On July 25, 2015 at approx. 0145hrs I received a call from Sgt. requesting that I respond to the Wicomico River to meet with patrol units on the scene of a boat accident involving a missing person. I made contact with the on scene supervisor via telephone. He advised that the accident involved the collision of a 21'Wellcraft Scarab with a dredge pipe and pontoons. Sgt. indicated that owner was missing and was suspected to have been ejected from the boat. The victim's wife was a passenger and remained in the boat. She was later transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, MD. I responded to PMRC arriving at approx. 0230hrs. 
   
  I met with Occupant as she was being treated for minor injuries. She advised that she and her husband arrived at the river at approximately 5PM. She indicated that they put in at the Riverside Boat Ramp and rode down the river. They then returned up river and went to Brew River Restaurant and Bar. She advised that they began to drink at about 1830hrs. She stated that her husband (boat operator) drank beer and several Orange Crushes (Vodka drinks) throughout the night. She advised that they did not eat until approximately 2300hrs when the victim ate some bacon wrapped scallops. She advised that they left approximately 10 minutes before her 911 call and decided to take a ride down the river. She advised that once they got below the speed zone, the victim throttled up and they were traveling at approximately 30mph. She advised that she saw the obstruction a split second before the collision and braced. She was thrown into the console and windshield. She stated that her husband was thrown out of the boat although she did not see this occur. She called 911 from her cell phone. 
   
  Two people were also present in the hospital room. I learned that the two worked at Brew River and were present this night. Subject1 indicated that he was bar tending along with two others. Subject1 stated that the boaters are regular customers and are often at the bar several times a week and usually are there on weekends. They often come by boat and are regular boaters on the river. Subject1 stated that it was busy throughout the night. He states that he served the victim approximately (10) beers (National Bohemian) and two Orange Crush drinks which are made with Vodka. Subject1 indicated that he can not say for sure but thinks that the victim also received drinks from the two other bar tenders. Subject1 reports that the victim had some bacon-wrapped scallops around 11PM. Subject1 stated that he saw the victim and his wife leave in the boat at approximately 0045hrs. He advised that prior to that he was him in the bar and did not think he appeared intoxicated. 
   
  Subject2 stated that he was working in the kitchen most of the night but did come out on occasion. He saw the boaters at the bar throughout the night. Subject2 stated that the victim did not appear intoxicated during the night. Both Subject2 and Subject1 advised that the victim is a frequent customer and drinks moderately when there. After leaving the hospital I responded to the Command Post and then to Cherry Hill Rd. I met with Cpl. who was standing by with the victim's boat and two witnesses on a push barge that were working on the dredge operation. I went on the patrol boat with Cpl. and was shown the dredge pipe and took some night photos. It was noted at this time that the red over red lighting and yellow/amber light were working/ illuminated. In addition the dredge pipe was in approximately (9) feet of water on the edge of the north side of the channel. Cpl. reported that the position of the dredge where the collision occurred was marked in the GPS and Tawes was notified of the co-ordinance. I returned to the barge and collected the witness statements from the dredge workers. 
   
  They observed the victim operating his vessel numerous times on the river over the last several weeks. They advised that the boat operator (victim) was aware that dre
