RedactedNarrative: Saturday, July 27: 
  At approximately 1515 hours, Game Wardens received a call about a drowning incident at Pointes West on Clarks Hill Lake.  GW arrived on scene at 1530 hours along with Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and Fire Rescue. Once on scene, GW encountered a red Old Towne Discovery Scout Canoe (12 ft.) capsized with no persons to be found in the immediate vicinity. 
  
  Boaters in the area said that one subject was taken to shore and was being treated by Columbia County EMS while another subject remained missing in the water. GW flipped the canoe over to check for someone underneath. When the canoe was flipped over, GW discovered two orange PFDs, a paddle, a water bottle, and a chrome “Crown Royal” flask floating under the canoe. GW retrieved all objects. The flask contained a small amount of liquid that smelled of a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. GW towed the canoe to shore and spoke with the boaters that picked up the surviving subject. 
  
  The rescuers told GW that a 46-year-old black male and his 23-year-old nephew were in the canoe when it flipped over due to boat wake. Neither subject was wearing a PFD, but there were two in the canoe. 
  
  They told GW that they only saw one subject holding on to the canoe and were told that his nephew was still in the water, but nowhere to be seen. Good Sam1 marked the GPS coordinates (N 33* 41.594’ W 82* 18.930’) to where he rescued the subject. He and other people jumped in the water to search for the missing subject, but were unsuccessful. The uncle was Occupant and the missing subject was his nephew Operator. 
  
  After learning more information, the incident was updated to a boating incident due to the canoe being in motion when the subjects fell overboard. Cpl. was dropped off on shore to speak with the uncle along with local authorities. Occupant told Cpl. that Operator was wearing a black shirt with black and red swim trunks and had eaten a large breakfast earlier in the day. Cpl. said Occupant had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. Occupant also said he had been holding onto the overturned canoe for a period of time before being rescued. GW began utilizing sonar on the boat to try and locate the victim. Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Columbia County Fire Rescue and Dive Team, and Sea Tow all had boats on the water to assist with the search and remained on scene. GW continued to search the incident area. Captain requested for the sonar team to assist with the search. GW continued to search until the sonar boat arrived.
