RedactedNarrative: THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING
  On Friday, March 18, 2016, at approximately 05:00 AM, in the East Pass of Destin FL in Okaloosa County, a single vessel collision occurred when, V1, a 28 foot cuddy cabin ( Bearing Florida vessel registration of FL xxxxxx) struck the east jetty of East Pass and capsized.  There were 12 people on board at the time. Four people were transported to medical facilities.  As of the time of this report, one subject has been recovered deceased by FWC dive team and one subject is still missing.  The vessel was a total loss.
  
   At approximately 0430 in the morning, Operator operated V1 away from the dock behind the Boathouse Bar in Destin Harbor, Okaloosa County, FL with a total of 12 persons on board. V1 was headed south in East Pass which is lined by jetty rocks on the both sides extending out to the south into the Gulf of Mexico.  Operator was operating on the eastern side of the pass when the vessel turned to the east.  Shortly thereafter, that vessel collided with the east jetty of East Pass in Okaloosa County, FL. As a result of the collision, the vessel sustained serious damage to the hull and capsized, later sinking. Operator was transported by ambulance from the scene to Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Santa Rosa Beach. Medical blood was drawn at Sacred Heart Emerald Coast. A subpoena for Operator’s medical records revealed his Blood Alcohol Content to be .164 grams per 100 milliliters.
  
  A damage assessment of the vessel, as well as physical evidence at the scene, revealed that the vessel struck the jetty rocks in a near perpendicular path.  This is due to the fact that there is crushing damage on the centerline of the vessel towards the bow.  Additionally, there was a gel coat debris field on the rocks in a near 180 degree pattern at the initial impact site.
  
  At the scene, Okaloosa Sheriff Deputies were told, by an occupant, the operator of the boat was wearing cowboy boots. An additional occupant relayed the information that the operator was in the ambulance and pointed that ambulance out to FWC Officer.  Officer made contact with Operator in the back of the ambulance and noted a strong odor of alcohol and verified that he was wearing cowboy boots. 
  
  As a result of the collision, the following fatalities occurred to persons onboard:
  Occupant1 was found, by the FWC dive team, deceased near by the vessel with head injuries caused in the collision.
  
  Occupant2 was ejected from the vessel and is presumed deceased as she has not been found or heard from since prior to the collision.  Four witnesses place Occupant2 on the boat at the time of the crash. A purse containing her Immigration Work Visa and bank cards was located on the vessel during the vessel recovery. There has been no activity on her social media accounts since the date of the crash.  Additionally, there has been no unexplained activity on her bank or phone records.   Her roommate nor family have heard from her as of this date.
