RedactedNarrative: I was informed of a boat accident at approximately 17:35. I went to the harbor where the V1 boat was docked. The operator of V1 had left the scene. I had gone to his apartment to interview him, his wife answered the door. She stated he went to a dinner for work. I called the operator he stated he was at a dinner for work. Speech was clear and very coherent.
  The operator stated that he was southbound on a starboard tack. He had collided with another vessel on its port side. I had taken pictures of damage.
  I set up an interview for a later date.
  After receiving information of where the injured parties of V2 had gone for treatment. I called to get their names and extent of injuries contact information.
  Medical papers were volunteered and in the attachments days later.

  Temporarily disabled due to the accident. Estimated time to recover is not determined yet.
  Operator V2 had stated he and his crew were operating on a starboard tack into the wind, then T-boned by the V1.
  After looking at damage and reconstruction I Interviewed the operator of V1 because I was skeptical of his statements. He appeared forthcoming stating that he was sorry he didn't have the answer I was looking for.
  I contacted the manager of Sail Time Chicago to see if they had a GPS tracking system or record of the boats travels. Days later I received the data regarding V1’s voyage. Directions, Speed and wind direction indicate that V1 Operator was at fault heading ESE (East south East) instead of south. This would have been a port side tack with the wind blowing nearly dead South.
  I called V1 Operator to arrange an interview on AUG 1 2022. I explained I want to meet with V1 Operator for an additional statement. I explained every time I interview someone I like to read them their rights.
  V1 Operator stated he gave a verbal and a written statement. "What's the disconnect?" V1 Operator asked.
  I stated the statements were not true and would give him another shot to come clean.
