While here on vacation in Wisconsin, almost every day I hear a story about missing fishermen who go out on a lake or river and never return. The searches are called off because of darkness or inclement weather, and resumed later.
In some cases the bodies are found. In others, they’re presumed drowned and the bodies are never recovered.
Sometimes I wonder, if someone had come to their rescue sooner, could they have survived? How long did they swim, waiting for help which didn’t arrive in time?
Or, maybe, they hadn’t wanted to live, and didn’t want to be found. Or, maybe someone tried to do them in, by making adjustments to the motor so it would conk out, or siphoning off some of the gas.
Or, maybe two of them got into an argument and one pushed the other over. So many grim possibilities. I wonder how often the true story ever comes out.
Have you read any novels which include a missing person at sea or where a drowning is involved? Maybe you’ve written one yourself. Please share.
