RedactedNarrative: On May 8, 2016 at approximately 0930 hours I, RFC \, was on patrol in the area of Dasher’s Landing in Bryan County and received a call from Sgt. I was notified of a boat incident that occurred in the Ogeechee River on May 7th.  The vessel was a Jon boat that sank north of Dasher’s Landing, and there were no injuries.  I contacted the Georgia State Patrol Dispatch and was provided the contact information for the caller.  
  
  I contacted Subject and was told operator took her brother in law’s boat out in the Ogeechee River on May 7th.  He went with 3 other individuals.  The boat sank approximately 1.5 miles north of Dasher’s Landing between 1200 hours and 1600 hours.  No one was injured.  She informed me Operator was the father of the boat owner.  She stated family and friends searched for hours in an attempt to locate the vessel with no success.  She asked if the Georgia Department of Natural Recourses (DNR) could help locate the vessel.  She was also concerned if the sunken vessel would be a hazard in the waterway.  I informed Subject that our department did not normally assist in salvage operations, but I would assist to evaluate potential hazards in the waterway.  I called RFC to assist and asked him to bring a patrol boat with him.  
  
  While at Dasher’s Landing, Operator arrived and began to tell me his story.  He stated he was fishing in the river with 3 other people.  He was traveling up river at approximately idle speed went the bow went underwater and swamped the vessel.  All occupants went into the water.  A vessel passing by assisted with their recovery.  No one was injured.  He also stated two of the occupants were seated at the bow of the vessel at the time of the incident.  The other occupants were identified.  Operator denied having consumed any alcohol on May 7th.  
  
  RFC and I put our vessel in the water and traveled up river to the incident location.  We assisted in locating his vessel.  The approximate location was 32’12’24.41 and 81’24’53.90.  We returned back to the landing.  
  
  On May 11, 2016 I received a note from the Brunswick office secretary.  The note read that the boat had been recovered.
