RedactedNarrative: On 06/20/2015, at approximately 0615hrs, (Caller) called 911 Emergency and stated that his daughter and a male friend, (Victim), had capsized a small boat on Lake Elwell, near the North Bootlegger Recreation Area. Caller stated that Female had walked all night back to their camp and that Victim may have drowned. At 0625hrs Toole County Sergeant and I responded to the location, as did EMS. At the same time a search team composed of members of Toole County Search and Rescue and Toole County Sheriff’s Office was being put together.
  
  At approximately 0710hrs, We made contact with the complainant and his daughter about a mile north of the recreation area.  She stated that her and Victim went out on a boat in the evening around 2045hrs and the wind picked up and started blowing them away from the shore. She said they tried to get back to shore but the wind kept blowing them away. At some point Victim stood up in the boat and it capsized. They lost their oars and stayed with the boat. She said they were in the water for about 2 hours and continued to blow further away from their camp. She said Victim started complaining about water in his lungs. She said he started sinking. She tried to help him but he was struggling with his sweatshirt. They got separated from the boat. Fearing for her own safety she swam back to the boat. Once she was with the boat she saw him and stated he looked like he was trying to take off his sweatshirt. She said he then went under water. She was in the water alone for what she thought was thirty minutes, but could have been as long as an hour, before she was able to pull the boat to shore.  Once on the shore she walked barefoot throughout the night until she met her father, who had awoken and realize her and Victim were missing, near their camp. As we were speaking with Female, EMS arrived at the location and evaluated her injuries. We continued to the recreation area.
  
  Once at the recreation area we headed east on foot along the shoreline attempting to lactate the boat. Ems cleared Female who refused transport. Ems then followed a field road east. Female had walked the road back to her camp the night before and EMS was able to follow her footprints.  The road was located approximately a mile north of the recreation area and traveled east perpendicular to the N Bootlegger Rd. By 0900 hrs a complete search team was organized.  
  
  At approximately 0927hrs, Search and Rescue located the boat using watercraft. The boat was located at N 48°20.899 W 111°16.825. Search and rescue began searching the area using sonar. At approximately 1300hrs the boat was brought back to North Bootlegger boat ramp by Search and Rescue. Searching by land, water, and air continued that day until approximately 2130hrs. Sheriff remained at the command post throughout the night.
  
  At approximately 1832hrs Search and Rescue believed they had located a body using sonar in approximately 85’ of water. 
  At approximately 2200hrs all searching was discontinued and a body was neither located nor retrieved. 
  
  Following 06/22/2015, various Search and Rescue members as well as Toole County Sheriff’s Deputies have conducted daily surface and sonar searches, in addition to daily Arial searches. As of 07/05/2015 Victim has not been located.
