The body of Bowie man was found in off the point of Selma Park on Lake Amon G. Carter after he went missing while swimming out to help his children who appeared to have gotten too far from shore due to the winds.
The search for Randall Carpenter began around 1 p.m. Sunday following a 911 call. He was reportedly swimming out to get his two children ages eight and 13, who had drifted too far from shore and could not get back. A 911 call about swimmers in danger went to the Montague County Sheriff’s office and Bowie Police also responded. First responders were able to get the attention of some two boaters who assisted and got the children out of the water and back to shore. They were taken by ambulance to Decatur Medical City and were treated for inhaling water.
An afternoon search for the father continued with high winds creating large white caps and dangerous boating conditions. Boats were pulled out around around 4 p.m. due to those concerns, however, Police Chief Guy Green said they continued to search the shoreline and the sheriff’s staff sent up a drone to search. At dark the search was halted, but resumed Monday morning around 8 a.m. with a Wise EMS rescue boat and two parks and wildlife boats with sonar searching for the missing man.
Sonar found the man on the bottom of the lake and divers from the Wichita Falls Police Department recovered Carpenter around 10 a.m. Monday.
