RedactedNarrative: On 6/17/2022 I responded to Lake Murray for a missing boating. Upon arriving I met with SCDNR officer who were interviewing the adult passengers onboard the pontoon boat. The adult passengers onboard were all childhood friends who rented a pontoon boat for a day on the lake. After renting the pontoon boat the group left the marina and headed toward the Lake Murray dam. The group drove to the dam and then began heading back towards the marina that they had left from. The adults informed SCDNR that they decided to stop and jump in the water when they arrived in that area. Everyone except Victim exited the boat into the water. Shortly after the group in the water realized the boat was drifting quickly away from them and attempted to heard back to the boat. The two female children made it back to the boat.  Witness stated that Victim entered the water to assist the last kid back to the boat. Subject1 state, I passed Victim in the water and that Victim was approximately 20 to 30 yards from the boat. The adults then stated, Victim disappeared, and they were unable to locate him. The group then drove through the area attempting to locate him but was unsuccessful. For the following days I assisted with the search efforts on lake Murray as well as updating the family on the current search efforts.  On 6/22/2022 the investigation was reassigned from myself.
