A marine search is continuing today in the Delta for a missing boater.
On Friday, June 26, 2020 at about 8:25 pm, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Marine Patrol Unit was dispatched to a report of a missing boater on Indian Slough in Discovery Bay.
It is not known how the boater, a 29-year-old man, went into the water. He is not being identified at this time. Occupants on the boat, who said that he never resurfaced, immediately searched for him.
Marine patrol deputies searched the water while Deputies checked the levee shoreline. A sonar search was also conducted. Sheriff’s Office STARR 3 helicopter did an aerial search. The missing boater was not located.
The investigation and search are continuing. Anyone with any information on this incident is asked to contact the Office of the Sheriff at (925) 646-2441.
Don’t trust the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol. They are dirty. One of their Reserves was a dirty cop in 2011 hiding assault weapons in his attic.
Be specific with your accusations. Or, do you just an ax to grind?
Someone on the boat has to know what happen. The dude just didn’t go in the water for no reason . Someone on that boat needs to fess up. to find that dude.
