ON 3-16-23 AT 16:30 RECEIVED A CALL FROM A WOMAN REPORTING HER HUSBAND AND SON WERE MISSING.  ADVISED THEY HAD PUT KAYAKS ON THE LAKE THAT AFTERNOON FROM THEIR AIRBNB LOCATION AND HADN'T RETURNED. DURING THIS TIME SEVERE STORMS WERE PASSING THROUGH THE AREA AS EXPECTED. SEARCHERS WERE ONLY ABLE TO SEARCH THE SHORLINE BY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO LAUNCH ANY VESSEL. AT 16:49 V2 WAS LOCATED ON THE SHORLINE ADJACENT TO PINE LOG RD WHICH IS SEVERAL MILES NORTH FROM THE AIRBNB.  A LITTLE WHILE LATER A LIFE JACKET WAS FOUND FLOATING IN THE MAIN CHANNEL IN FRONT OF STARKEY'S MARINA WHICH WAS LATER IDENTIFIED BY THE VICTIM'S WIFE AS BELONGING TO HER HUSBAND. AT 20:09 THE SEARCH WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS. ON 3-17-23 THE SEARCH RESUMED AND V1 WAS LOCATED FLOATING ON THE SHORELINE EAST OF LOST BRIDGE PARK TOWARD BEAVER DAM. THE SEARCH UTILIZING SIDE-SCAN SONAR, CADAVER DOGS AND DIVE TEAMS CONTINUED UNTIL 3-21-23 WHEN THE SEARCH WAS OFFICIALLY SUSPENDED AND THE VICTIMS PRESUMED DECEASED.  THE LAKE DEPTH IS ANYWHERE FROM A FEW FEET TO OVER 2OOFT DEEP.

UPDATE 4-13-23: V1 OPERATOR/VICTIM LOCATED AND RECOVERED IN THE VICINITY OF THE ORIGINAL SEARCH AREA ON 4-8-23. V2 OPERATOR/VICTIM LOCATED AND RECOVERED ON 4-9-23.
