  On 08/12/2018, at about 02:20 p.m., this vessel was drifting on the Snake River, in the area of Fishhook Park located near Burbank, WA in Walla Walla county. 
  
  According to Law Enforcement, when they arrived at this location they spoke with the passengers who were on the boat when Operator went missing.  Subject1 told Officers that she, Subject2 and Operator were floating in the boat when Operator lost his hat.  He jumped into the water to go after it.  He was not wearing a PFD.  The boat drifted away from him so Subject1 tried to start the boat so they could get back to him.  She eventually got it started but by that time, he was going under. 
  
  Subject2 told Officers that after Subject1 got the boat started and back to Operator, she shut it off so that he would not be injured by the boat.  The boat drifted away before Operator could get back in.  Subject2 then got the boat back to Operator and threw him a rope but he wasn’t able to get it.  Subject1 had put on a PFD and jumped in the water to find him.  Subject2 said that Subject1 was going to take her PFD off so that she could go under to find him but Subject2 told her not to do that.
