The incident occurred when a UTV carrying three individuals went through open water. According to the two other men on board, the operator did not realize the water was open in that area and believed it to be water pooled on top of the ice.

This recovery was a multi-agency effort, with critical assistance from numerous departments. “We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the following agencies for their support and expertise throughout this operation,” said TLPD Chief Katie Hall.

  1. Thanks Kevin for doing this Follow Up !

    People need to see the that a massive amount of personal came to not only possibly save a life but to then recover a body to allow the family involved to start their grieving process.

    According to reports Nearly 30 local departments including teams from 5 counties came to help !

    This information NEEDS to show that people need to make better decisions when venturing out on to the ice.
    I wonder if the village of Twin Lakes could or should have sent out an air boat daily to inspect and mark unsafe areas or just not allow people on the lake at all. The village does gain from business generated from winter activities on the lake.
    Maybe they should take a few of those local tax dollars and monitor their lakes instead of just letting local bait shops pass along information as they receive it.

    1. send out an airboat daily to check for dangerous ice? do you know how much that would cost? maybe people should use common sense that way we can save some money.

  2. Please don’t advocate spending tax money to defeat social darwinism. You can’t fix stupid, but you can waste tax money.

  3. Wow… A family is grieving and all You are concerned about is taxpayers money.You ought to be ashamed of yourself. And don’t judge until you walk a mile in their shoes , you don’t know all circumstances involved. There is always another side to a story. This could have been something This group did year after year.
    You don’t know this.
