The boaters launched their 17-foot surface drive vessel to explore the LaBranch Marsh. During their trip, they missed a turn and their vessel became beached in the marsh. The boaters were unable to free the vessel and were forced to spend the night in the marsh.
On Sunday, May 25, agents were notified of the two missing individuals. With the aid of LDWF aircraft, agents were able to locate Fabres and Ingram. Agents, along with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Deputies launched an airboat allowing them to reach and free the stranded boaters.
