  THIS OFFICE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FROM THE USCG on 11/16/2016…
   
  Sector Puget Sound (SPS) was notified by a good samaritan that a 14ft skiff was unmanned and adrift approx 1/2 mile off Shilshole Marina. The good samaratin was in his sailboat and confirmed seeing a person onboard the 14ft skiff 30 mins prior to the report. SPS entered Distress phase, issued an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast (UMIB) and launched CG6504 from Air Station Port Angeles as well as CG 45658 from Station Seattle.
   
  When CG4568 arrived on scene, they found the skiff partially submerged; onboard, there was a burgundy life jacket along with suspected contraband (green leafy substance rolled into paper), a blue tote with a flashlight and handheld gps, and debris in the surrounding area. CG45658 and CG6504 commenced initial searches, with negative results. Seattle Harbor Patrol also launched a vessel to assist with the search efforts. CG45658 towed the skiff back to shore and tied it up. Seattle Harbor patrol took custody of the vessel to conduct a criminal investigation. Surrounding bouys in the area (SG, West Pt Light, Meadow Pt lighted buoy) were searched by CG 45658 with negative results.  The registration numbers of the 14ft skiff showed that the vessel was purchased at Bass Pro Shops by Victim and delivered to Shilshole marina on 28 Oct 2016.
