RedactedNarrative: SUMMARY:
  On 01 October 2016 at approximately 1227 hours Lake Mead Inter-Agency Dispatch Center received a report of a boat bobbing, 4 feet sticking out, with coolers and seats floating around. No one was reported to have been in the area and not sure how long the boat had been there. Investigation indicated occupants made it to shore and had used gas to light a signal fire. Las Vegas Metropolitan Sheriff Search and Rescue dive team came out and verified no one was under water in the area. Vessel Assist was requested to recover the boat, due to the fact it was not secure and a hazard to navigation. Investigation was not able to determine who was the current owner of the vessel. No missing person or vessel accident has been reported. 
  
  NARRATIVE:
       Vessel was reported to have been adrift in a cove and leaking oil or fuel. Debris was reportedly spread around the cove. Volunteer Vessel Patrol V65 was requested to respond and located the vessel in Lovers Cove. The crew on V65 looking around the area on shore and by boat and was not able to locate anyone. 
  
  SCENE:
       Lovers cove has a entrance approximately 100 feet wide and is 500 feet deep. A hill approximately 30 feet high is located at its northern entrance. On the southern side there is a long rock pint that is from 2 feet under water to 3 feet above water that extends out approximately one quarter mile past the opposing point where the hill is located. The cove is approximately 60 feet deep in the middle at its entrance. The vessel was found in 14-21 feet of water, depending on what side of the vessel you were on. 
  
  DAMAGE:
       Vessel had visible keel damage. Seat''s, and seat cushions were found along the shoreline. Previous owner reported the boat was in good condition when he sold it in June 2016. Divers reported that jumper cables were attached to the boats batteries.
  
  INJURIES:
   Unknown. 
  
  ACTION TAKEN:
       At approximately 1327 hours Ranger and I arrived on scene, onboard Vessel 21. I began an investigation what could have possibility happened. I took photographs and GPS points of debris. Ranger1 on shore began to look up the registered owner. Ranger1 informed me that the previously registered owner said he sold the boat in June but was not at home and could not remember the person name. SUBJECT described the new owner as a white male adult, in his 20''s, 5-11, 200lbs, shaved head that had tattoos on it. The buyer drove a late model Chevy pickup with chrome wheels. The boat trailer was described as 16 feet, flat white, with white spooked wheels. SUBJECT provided a picture of the boat on its trailer. 
  
       Rangers on shore check launch ramps and parking lots in; Callville, Boulder Harbor, Hemenway Harbor, Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Lake Mead Marina and Government Wash. All pickups and trailers that closely matched that description were noted and ran though dispatch. No exact match and no pickup and trailer were seen in any area.
  
       Vessel 65 conducted a shoreline search from Lovers Cove to Callville Bay and Lovers Cove to Swallow Bay.  No one located who had possibly crashed their boat. 
  
       At approximately 1600 hours Vessel 61, with Deputy Chief Ranger and Las Vegas Metropolitan Sheriff Search and Rescue Dive Team, arrived on scene. Drivers told me that one was seen underwater and no bags or other personal effects were in the boat.
  
       At approximately 1703 Hours Vessel 61 and Vessel 21 cleared the area. Once on shore I continued investigation into who could possibly have currently owned the boat. 
  
  I contacted the previous owner, SUBJECT, and he was not able to locate the name of the individual he sold the boat too.  SUBJECT told me that he requested a duplicate title in June and that the new owner did not have a title. SUBJECT said that had agreed to let the buyer have the boat for 1500 dollars at that time.  It is assumed the vessel became grounded and then flooded.
