FWC Weekly Report Feb. 25 March 3, 2005 This report represents some significant events the FWC handled over the past week; however, it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement. DIXIE COUNTY The bodies of two teenagers, missing since Feb. 26, were recovered at approximately noon, Feb. 28. FWC Officers located the canoe and one of the teens approximately 11 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico near the town of Suwannee. The U.S. Coast Guard found the second teen approximately a. half-mile away' from the canoe. The FWC and the U.S. Coast Guard were involved in a massive search for the two since the boys were reported separated from the rest of their group. A group of eight students and two adult leaders .launched three canoes, three kayaks and a motor-powered raft from a public ramp in Suwannee to go camping on Coon Island, approximately three miles north of Suwannee. Approximately a half-mile from Coon Island, the motor failed on the raft. All the vessels, with the'exception of the victim's canoe, tied together at the disabled vessel. The group saw '.what they belie'.ed to be a flashlight from the ni-sming' .cnoe and an adult' leader and one student went searching for the missing boys. The group leader became disoriented in the darkness and paddled for several hours until he gained cell phone access. He called his wife who then called the Coast Guard to Dixie County Advocate, Cross City, Florida Thursday, March 10, 2005 The Steinhatchee Community Fishing Tournament This Saturday!!
