  The victims kayak was never recovered.  The information provided is from Highland Park report 2018-00013696.
  
  At about 4:30 pm, they launched their kayaks into the water. He identified that his kayak was blue and that VICTIM had a yellow one. He related that neither one of them had life jackets with them. They first paddled east from the beach to “touch the buoy” and then they traveled what SUBJECT believed was southeast towards Chicago for about an hour to an hour and a half, stopping several times to fish. After about 2 hours he told VICTIM that he wanted to turn and head back due to the winds picking up. As they turned around, which he believed was northwest, SUBJECT was in front and VICTIM was directly behind him. They kayaked for approximately 30 minutes when SUBJECT''s kayak began to fill with water and then capsized. The kayak and paddle traveled away from SUBJECT as he was in the water.
  
  SUBJECT held to the back of VICTIM''s kayak swimming while VICTIM paddles toward the shore. After about 15-20 minutes, VICTIM''s kayak also capsized. SUBJECT grabbed the paddle however they left the kayak. SUBJECT stated that VICTIM tired quickly. They were swimming very close to each other for about 15-20 minutes then became separated by about 10-12 feet. VICTIM asked SUBJECT to swim over to him and when he did, VICTIM grabbed on to the back of SUBJECT''s shoulders which began to pull SUBJECT down. SUBJECT informed VICTIM that he was going to kill them both at which time VICTIM immediately let go of SUBJECT. VICTIM began to panic. As they were swimming to shore, they each had one end of the paddle when he observed VICTIM holding a knife to his neck. SUBJECT told VICTIM to give him the knife at which time VICTIM threw the knife into the water.
  
  SUBJECT then observed VICTIM raise his hand straight up and his head began to go under the water. SUBJECT stated that VICTIM came back up out of the water about 2-3 times, then went under. SUBJECT saw VICTIM sinking downward and did not come back up.
  
  He related that VICTIM went under the water when there was some light out. He stated that the sun was setting in front of him along the houses on the shore.
  
  When asked where they were at in the water, SUBJECT stated that he could see a large house with big stones near it. SUBJECT swam to that house after VICTIM drowned which he believes took an hour to an hour and a half to reach.
