RedactedNarrative: On August 9, 2015 at approximately 12:00 p.m., I, Officer of the Natural Resources Police received a call from our communication center stating there were five (5) people in the water just north of the bay bridge. 
  
  Upon arrival with Coast Guard Auxillary, Coast Guard Sector Annapolis, and Anne Arundel County Fire Department, I spoke with the operator of the sailboat that happened to spot the five individuals in the water as he was coming underneath the bay bridge headed north. He notified me that the man missing was about 42 years of age and wearing a red shirt. I continued to search the area for the missing individual until more units could respond to my location. 
  After other units responded to the area, I asked the sailboat operator to write down a statement of exactly what happened. After receiving the statement from him, I proceeded to pass it along to our Special Operations Division (SOD)\. 
  The area is still being searched for any sign of the individual.
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, MD.
  
  On August 9, 2015 at approximately 1300 hours, this investigator, Cpl. Was made aware of a missing boater as a result of a boat accident in the Chesapeake Bay near the Bay Bridge and Sandy Point State Park. I arrived at approximately 1535 and met with investigator Cpl., who had been on scene shortly after the incident was reported.
  
       The following information was gathered by Cpl.; at approximately 0800-0830 on Sunday, August 9, 2015, a vessel with 6 persons on board left Sandy Point marina. The vessel was owned and operated by Operator. At approximately 1230 hours, a sailboat spotted debris in the water near the center span of the bridge, and found 5 subjects in the water. The sailboat rescued the 5 subjects and brought them to Sandy Point. It was then learned that Operator was missing. Units from the Natural Resources Police (NRP), MD State Police, and the United States Coast Guard were conducting air and water searches of the area.
  
     I interviewed the victim's son. Operator’s son stated that water had come over the vessel, and the boat sank. Operator’s son stated that he tried to hold his father up, but that he was too heavy and he drowned. Units continued searching until dark, at which time the search was suspended until the next morning.
  
    On Monday August 10, 2015, I returned to Sandy Point, where search operations were underway. I maintained contact with family members who were on scene. I was able to interview the second adult, Occupant2, who was on board the vessel when it sunk. Occupant2 stated that they were under the bridge fishing, but weren't seeing any fish on the vessels fish finder. The vessel kept moving from location to location looking for fish. At one point, the 4 children on board put on their personal floatation devices. PFD's and swam around the boat for 30-60 minutes. The children got back on board and they removed their PFD's. The vessel then continued back towards Sandy Point, stopping along the way to fish. 
  
  Occupant2 indicated that the engine would start, but when the throttle was engaged, the engine would stop. Occupant2 indicated that this occurred approximately 20 times. Occupant2 stated that at one point a wave came over the boat, but it didn't concern him, and it wasn't a swamping wave. Occupant2 said that he notice approximately 3 inches of water in the vessel, at which time he mentioned it to Operator. Occupant2 stated that Operator laughed and didn't seem concerned about the water. Occupant2 stated that he didn't think that the wave that came over the vessel was responsible for all the water in the vessel, because the wave was not very big. Occupant2 stated that approximately 5-7 minutes passed, and then Operator yelled for everyone to put their PFD's on. 
  
  Occupant2 stated that the bow of the vessel went up in the air, and the boat sunk very quickly. Occupant2 said that he could see the bow of the vessel beneath the surface of the water and was able to hold on
