Default What happened at Chinook Landing?

Does anyone know what happened at Chinook Landing today? I drove by around 2:45 this afternoon and there was a news helicopter hovering, a bunch of sherrif rigs in the lot and a couple of sherrif boats on the water. One of the boats looked like it had some divers on board. At about 4 p.m. there was a Coast Guard helicopter flying over the 205 bridge. I didn't see anything on the news tonight as to what might of happened.

Here is the story from the KEX website. Sad indeed.
Coast Guard officials have little hope of finding an 80-year-old man who fell from a boat in the Columbia River Thursday morning. Coast Guard boats and helicopters searched for Glen Schaeffer in the river near Fairview, after they found the body of 79-year-old Donald Verdoor of Boring in a 19-foot fishing boat. Investigators believe Schaeffer fell from the boat after the bow line got tangled in the prop, causing the boat to veer out of control.

pretty sad, Glen was the uncle of one of the guys I work with in my office. He loved fishing and was out there every week.
