On May 24, 1980, a boating accident on Palisades Reservoir in Bonneville County, Idaho, left ten-year-old Toni Lynn Schiess missing after a fourteen-foot aluminum boat capsized about 100 yards from shore near the Overlook at the Narrows just south of Big Elk Creek. The reservoir water was 47 to 51 degrees and in that area about 120 feet deep; the boat reportedly carried eight passengers and only one life jacket. Four people were rescued by nearby boaters, but Toni, her father Laddie Schiess, 38, and two members of the Hill family — Larry Hill, 38, and his six-year-old son Rex Hill — could not be reached and vanished into the water.

Extensive searches were conducted and the boat was later recovered, but the four were never found and are presumed drowned. Toni was described as a white female with brown hair, 4 feet 7 inches tall, about 65 pounds.

Does anyone have memories of that day at Palisades Reservoir or information that could help the families?
