The Lewis County Sheriffs Office now considers a man who went overboard July 5 on Mineral Lake a missing person, rather than a drowning victim, Chief Deputy Bruce Kimsey told The Chronicle this morning.
Deputies from the Sheriffs Office were dispatched at about 4 p.m. July 5 to a report of a drowning on Mineral lake. They arrived and contacted a 49-year-old woman in a boat who reported her companion went into the water and didnt come back out.
Despite the clear water and use of the sonar, no evidence of Harriss body was found, Kimsey said.
Were treating it as a missing person case, he said.
Kimsey said the Sheriffs Office is unsure if Harris entered the water then swam to shore.
No witnesses other than the 49-year-old woman have been located, he added. She was extremely intoxicated, Kimsey said. She had some issues trying to explain the story.
