RedactedNarrative: While on routine patrol at the Big Dam on the Des Moines River, Officer found 2 females sitting on kayaks in the parking lot on the west side of the river.  The female approached the vehicle for Officer1 and asked if she could be given a ride to a bar by the name of Amigos so she could meet up with her husband.  
  
  Officer1s asked how they had gotten separated and she stated that they had went around the dam and put in down stream.  She and her friend had put in their kayaks in the water and the kayak that Subject was in started to go back toward the dam and into the boil.  Victim tried reaching for her but then his kayak tipped and he started floating downstream.  Subject also tipped her kayak yet  managed to grab onto a branch and pull herself out of the water.  Subject stated she wasn't worried about the victim because he was swimming the last time she saw him.  
  
  Officer1 asked if the victim was wearing a life jacket and she stated that they did not have any.  Officer1  told the females to stay put and immediately notified the FT Dodge FD.  Officer1 launched his boat on Lizzard Creek and as he left the mouth of Lizzard Creek and entered into the Des Moines River, he found a green viper kayak upside down in the river.
