(Logan) The Harrison County Attorney’s Office has charged 22-year-old Garret Vanderheiden, of Fremont, Nebraska, with Involuntary Manslaughter and Boating While Intoxicated 1st Offense. The charges stem from a boating incident on May 29 that resulted in the death of 20-year-old Emma Olsen of Omaha, Nebraska.
Vanderheiden is accused of being the operator of a 20-foot red and white Scarab that sank in the Missouri River near Mondamin, Iowa. The charges are the result of an extensive investigation by Iowa Conservation Officers.
Note: A criminal charge is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
