RedactedNarrative: At approximately 6:00 p.m. dispatch put a call out for a St. Tammany agent. Myself and Sr. Agent responded to what she called a missing boater. We got in touch with the STPSO office and they explained to us that they found a partially submerged boat of the person that was reported missing on the West Pearl River. 
  
  We proceeded to the location and after a short interview with some of the family and friends it was determined that the victim was last heard from at approximately 2:07 a.m. when he called his girlfriend and told her he was on his way home from the bar and was going to get in his boat and head to his houseboat for the night. At approximately 3:30p.m. his dog that never left his side swam up to where he lived on the river, that's when his dad notified authorities and went to look for his son and found the boat. 
  
  We proceeded to the boats location and started taking pictures of the scene which the STPSO was already there running sonar. We noticed there was a log jam approximately 50 yards up river from where the boat was submerged with fresh impact marks on it.  After taking all necessary pictures we hooked to the vessel and got it up and on the trailer so we could further the investigation.  When we recovered the vessel we did not find any life jackets and the boat had Teleflex remote steering, there was also a fresh beer bottle still in it. 
  
  At approximately 8:40 p.m. the STPSO hooked the body of Victim approximately 70 yards from where the boat was found. The body was transported to Davis Landing where the coroner was called and picked him up.
