Sergeant Ray Lewis with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources tells us the last communication the father had was with his wife around 5:50 p.m. Friday. letting her know he and his four-year-old daughter were on their way home.
Lewis says the father and daughter had been coming from a beach area and at some point decided to stop. The boat was reportedly in neutral with the key switch off, allowing the 4-year-old to drift towards the shore.
It's believe she drifted alone for almost an hour.
