  Incident Narrative 
  S14-0992 
  
  On 7/17/14 I was dispatched to Blackfoot Reservoir near Cinder Island for a possible drowning. Officers responded to the area. Upon arrival to the dock in the dike area we launched the Sheriff's office boat and located the reporting party Operator east of Cinder Island (approximately N 42.867622,W 111.572630). Operator appeared to be in shock and intoxicated. Operator was in a 18' white and blue campion boat ID 8967 AS. Upon speaking with Operator he stated his friend (Victim) was still in the water and he was not able to find him. Upon further investigation it was found Operator and Victim had been on the water since approximately 1130 hrs and had been boating throughout the day. They had stopped to swim and both had jumped in the water without life jackets and after swimming for a bit the boat started to drift away from them and both Operator and Victim started to swim back to the boat. Operator stated he had looked back multiple times while swimming for boat and Victim was behind him, once he got to the boat he could no longer see Victim. Operator called for Victim and attempted to locate him but was not able to, so he called 911. It should be noted Operator stated both him and Victim had been drinking and neither had life jackets on. There was two blue life jackets with in the boat. Upon locating Operator we had him put on his life jacket and anchor his boat. I then boarded Operator' boat and took a statement as the other deputies began to search for Victim. Operator believed where we located him was where they were swimming but he wasn't absolutely sure where the exact location was since he had used the boat to search for Victim. It should also be noted the boat was drifting at a pretty quick rate in an eastern direction due to wind. Subject arrived at this time to assist in the search. After the initial search I took Operator and his boat back to the dock. I took pictures of the boat and then allowed Operator and his family to load the boat. I briefed Sheriff on the situation and boarded \ boat to continue in the search. A broad search was conducted in the area where the boat was first located until it began to become to dark. The search was postponed until the next day. Family was informed of situation and advised search would continue the next 
  morning. 7/18/14 Search resumed from approximately 0700 hrs to approximately 1700 being called due to water conditions. Bingham County, Bear Lake County, Idaho Parks and Rec. and a volunteer search plan piloted was involved in search this day. 
   
  7/19/14 Search resumed approximately 0800 hrs ending at approximately 1630 hrs due to water conditions. Bingham County, Bear Lake County and Idaho Parks and Rec assisted. 7/20/14 Search resumed at approximately 0700hrs with two volunteer search planes. Cache county was en route with search dogs to assist in locating the body so no boats were allowed on the water until after the dogs had completed their search. At approximately 0830 hrs we were informed one of the planes may have spotted Victim's body. Officers launched the boat and responded to the suspected area. The planes lead us to the location north east of Cinder island were the Victim was located and recovered at N 42.89309, W 111.58825 at 0850 hrs. Subject arrived at this time as well to assist. Deputies entered the water to recover Victim's body. Body was recovered and placed on boat and then taken to a private dock. There was no visible mark or evidence on Victim's body to indicate fowl play or injuries. Pictures were taken. Coroner arrived on scene, Victim's body was turned over to the coroner at this time. Family was notified of finding Victim and the search was terminated.
