RedactedNarrative: On April 27th, 2019, I Cpl. of the Dept. of Natural Resources L.E.D. received a call from Georgia State Patrol Post in Statesboro about a boating incident that occurred in Effingham County.  The GSP dispatcher informed me  a single boat occupied by a single male, sunk at the mouth of Abercorn Creek and the Savannah River.  The occupant/operator of the boat was uninjured and was at the boat landing at Abercorn Creek.  A private individual was en route to the location to try to recover boat.  I arrived at the location at approximately 1430 hours on the above afternoon.  When I arrived at Abercorn Creek he was out in his friends boat trying to locate and recover the missing boat. 
  
   Operator returned to the boat landing at approximately 1530 hours.  Operator stated they were unable to locate the boat.  Operator said he was talking to some friends in the river when he noticed his boat was taking on water.  He tried to return to the boat landing, but he was unable to make it before the boat sank.  Some fisherman that were close by picked Operator up and brought him back to the boat landing.
  
  Operator told me he paid $1200 for the boat a few months earlier.  He said he was going to return later that day with a side scan sonar unit and try to recover the boat.  To my knowledge Operator was not able to locate and recover the boat.
