RedactedNarrative: A group of young adults in their early 20’s were visiting a friend’s house on Mill Pond, Lake Beulah.  The group had been consuming alcohol for most of the evening on 1/2/2016 and visited a local bar.  The witnesses stated that shortly after returning from the bar the missing individuals exited the residence to smoke cigarettes and never returned.  
  
  A small scale search of the premise was done at 4:00 am by some members of the group.  The group was unsuccessful in locating the four missing individuals and decided to go to bed until daylight hours.  The group began to search again at approximately 9:00 am.  The son of the property owner noticed the canoe was missing from the boat house.  A search of the shoreline was conducted and the missing canoe was observed in the channel connecting Mill Pond to the main lake.  The canoe was designed for 3 passengers and 4 people were in it.  The group contacted the County Sheriff Dispatch shortly after 11:00 am on 1/3/2016.
  
  On 1/3/2016 at approximately 1:03 pm, volunteer firefighters were diving on the southeast side of Mill Pond where they observed broken ice and paddles lying on the ice.  The firefighters had located two bodies and continued searching.   Dive operations continued until 6:41 pm.    
  On 1/4/2016 at approximately 1:26 pm, divers located the body of one of the missing individuals. Dive operations were suspended at 4:47 pm.
  
  On 1/8/2016 at approximately 9:09 am divers located the body of the fourth missing individual.
  
  Overloading and alcohol use were causes.  It is assumed the vessel capsized, flooding the boat and ejecting the subjects.
