RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 8’ Wooden Rowboat/Dingy – Year/Make/Model Unknown 
  
  On 12/04/2018, at about 09:28 p.m., this vessel was rowing/paddling on Puget Sound near Dockton Park/Quartermaster located near Vashon Island, WA in King county.  
  
  According to Law Enforcement, on this date, time unknown, Deputies on Vashon Island had contacted the Operator as she was the victim of a DV order violation.  She was exhibiting obvious signs on alcohol consumption.  
  
  Operator was known to live on a sailboat that was moored in the Dockton area of Quartermaster Harbor.  To access her sailboat, she used a small wooden dingy, described above.  On this date, at about 09:28 p.m., Deputies were dispatched to this location for the report of a female yelling for help from the water.  Area checks didn’t locate the source of the calls for help.   
  
  On the morning of 12/06/2018, Operator’s body was found washed up on a nearby beach.  Her dingy had been located, tied to a mooring ball.  It is presumed to have been placed there by an unknown community member, as is common with boats that are found adrift in the harbor.  Operator’s backpack and sunglasses were still in the dingy.  It appears that she had fallen out of her dingy while rowing to or from her sailboat.  She had not been wearing a PFD at that time.  
  
  The calls for help that had been heard on the evening of 12/04/2018, were likely Operator’s attempts to summon help after falling overboard.  Confirmation of cause of death is pending autopsy.
