8/23/09 - WESTFALL TWP - At 13:47, The Tri-State area Dives Team were dispatched to the Delaware River near Staircase Rapids for a missing rafter. Once on scene of a severely swollen river, it was learned that the National Park Service had already been dispatched for an overturned raft. An NPS ranger pulled one individual from the water and two others were able to swim to shore. Unfortunately, one man was pulled under and was missing. Due to the muddy water and extreme current, no scuba operations took place and a surface search was unfounded. For the next 3 days as water conditions improved, 39 boat and divers along with several other area dive teams assisted NY State Police divers with the ongoing search for the missing rafter. On 8/26/09 while scuba search operations were taking place, it was reported that a body had been seen floating downstream. 39 boat & PJFD boat responded to the location and were able to recover the rafter's body.
