Although the incident occurred in St. Martin Parish, Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack said his deputies responded to the call.
Waguespack said 28-year-old Jacob P. Lewis, of Walker, and his wife went out Wednesday to scout areas to set crawfish traps.
The couple went back to their truck and Lewis backed the truck down to attach the boat to the trailer.
Waguespack said Lewis’ wife noticed the boat didn’t hit the trailer. She got out and saw her husband in the water.
Officials with the Baton Rouge Fire Department are assisting in the search.
Paper, Daily review. I have reread
It numerous times. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. But in the article it says that the wife reported her husband missing. Yet she was with him running crawfish traps. Then she said they got back to the landing and she backed the truck up for her husband to put the boat on the trailer. She didn't hear the boat hit the trailer. So she got out of the truck and seen her husband in the water.
So... Where did he go? If she seen him in the water... Then how is he missing?
