RedactedNarrative: While at st catherine's hospital i spoke primarily to subject1 due to a language barrier with subject2. Subject1 identified the other missing individuals. Subject1 stated that he was friends with subject3 and subject4 and met up with them and their dad, subject2, to go out on subject2's 18ft bayliner. 
  
  Subject1 stated that they had been working on the boat much of the winter. He stated they launched the boat around 1300hrs at east chicago marina. They left the marina heading northeast when the waves became much higher than they had expected. 
  
  The weather on may 1, 2021 was forecast as 20-30mph sustained winds with gusts up to 45mph out of the south/southwest. Rescuers in the area searching reported waves around 8-10 feet in height. The water temperature was near 50 degrees. 
  
  When the boat encountered these waves, it began taking on water, killing the boats engine. One of the boat's occupants, believed to be subject3, called 911 at this point. Subject1 then grabbed three life jackets. Subject1, subject3, and subject4 all put on life jackets. 
  
  The boat then overturned, and the four men clung to the hull. At some point a wave struck the group and washed subject4 and subject3 off the boat into open water. Subject1 stated that subject3 was wearing blue on blue clothing, with bright blonde hair. Subject4 was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt with short black hair. Subject3 and subject4 were said to have an orange and purple life jacket.
  
  At approximately 1650hrs i was notified that the chicago fire helicopter had located subject3 in the water. A good samaritan was able to get subject3 on board and transported to the us coast guard boat. Subject3 was wearing a blue/purple type 4 throwable pfd and holding a red pfd. Subject3 was then transported to st catherine's hospital. I spoke with subject3 in the emergency room. Subject3 stated that him and subject4 were washed away and able to hold on to each other. At some point subject4 began to slip in and out of consciousness. A wave then struck the pair and they both went under water. When subject3 resurfaced all he could find was subject4's empty life jacket on the surface. Subject3 stated he believes when he looked under water, he saw subject4 sinking, and he never resurfaced.
