RedactedNarrative: On 21 April 2018, at 10:00 PM I received a call from Springfield Dispatch. The operator told me there was a missing male boater on the Sangamon River inside Riverside Park. I was told his name, that he had jumped off his kayak into the river after a fight with his girlfriend, and that he was missing. 
  I arrived at Riverside Park at approximately 11:00 PM that same day and met the Incident Commander. 
  Subject (the last person to see operator) told me Operator was her boyfriend and they had been paddling down the Sangamon River since approximately 3:00 PM on 21 April, 2018. They were kayaking with another couple; each paddling their own kayak for a total of four people.  At some point the other couple got off the water and Subject and Operator continued onward. 
  At approximately 7:30 PM, Operator and Subject had an argument and beached their kayaks under the railroad bridge located over the Sangamon River approximately 1 mile northeast from the Riverside Park main boat ramp. Subject and Operator got back into their kayaks approximately 10 minutes later and kept going down the river. Subject had tied Operator''s kayak to her leg because Operator made the decision not to paddle anymore, Subject was towing Operator. 
  At approximately 8:00 PM Operator told Subject he was “done with this” and voluntarily leapt off his kayak into the water. Subject recalled seeing him swim southwest toward the riverbank and then lost sight of him. Subject did not hear Operator call out nor did she believe Operator was in danger at any point. Subject told me Operator was “in the habit” of scaring her by threatening to leave her then show up at a later time. Subject took this as a common practice and kept going downriver. When Operator jumped off, the kayak became untied and Subject lost sight of the kayak. Subject kept padding until she reached the primary boat ramp at Riverside Park. 
  Subject reached the boat ramp at approximately 8:15 PM and then walked the trail that parallels the river using her cell phone light to look for Operator and calling out to him to “stop playing”.  At approximately 8:30 PM Subject called 911 and reported Operator missing.
  On 1 May 2018, at approximately 0930 hours I received a phone call from Chief for the Sangamon Search and Rescue Squad. He informed they had found a human body inside the river located at Latitude 39°52''15.88” Longitude 89°36''47.75”. The Sangamon County Coroner took possession of the body and a toxicology and autopsy is pending.
