  On 09/27/2021, at about 01:00 p.m., this vessel, operated by VICTIM was rowing/paddling in Banks Lake about 150-200 yards West of the Million Dollar Access, located near Coulee City, WA in Grant county.
  According to Law Enforcement, on this date, three subjects, VICTIM , WITNESS 1, and WITNESS 2, went out kayaking from the above location on rough waters.  They were attempting to kayak across the lake to the West side of Banks Lake.
  The female, WITNESS 2, noticed the waters were too rough for her and turned back after about 50 yards.  The other male, WITNESS 1, turned back about 100 yards later.  They both saw the missing male, VICTIM, about 150-200 yards from shore and to the North of the launch.  They lost sight of him, and they never saw him again.
  WITNESS 1 and WITNESS 2 stayed in the area until about 09:00 p.m. waiting for VICTIM.  When he didn’t return, they left the area.  They returned on 09/28 to look for VICTIM.  When they were unable to find him, they called Law Enforcement.
  On 09/29, Law Enforcement launched a boat and checked the area.  They located VICTIM ’s kayak, PFD, and a cooler on the West side of the lake, about ¾ of a mile North of where he was last seen.
