On the night of April 3, 2008, 14-year-old Lakeview High School sophomore Hannah Griffith was on a small aluminum boat about 75 yards from the Red River boat launch in Coushatta, Louisiana, when the vessel capsized at about 1:00 a.m. Six people were aboard; four made it to shore, while Hannah and 25-year-old David Loftin Jr. were unaccounted for after the accident.

A search of the river began at first light. David Loftin Jr.’s body was recovered a few hours later near the site of the capsizing. Hannah Griffith’s body has never been found, and investigators concluded she is presumed to have drowned in the accident. She was described as having brown hair and brown eyes and was a sophomore at Lakeview High School.

Anyone who was on the river that night or who has information about the boat or the events leading up to the capsizing is asked to come forward.
