The Wadena County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from a female party who stated she was in a boat that capsized on Stocking Lake, at approximately 11:38 p.m. Oct. 12.
The caller said one of the other occupants was still missing somewhere in the water. Law enforcement and medical personnel arrived and located the caller, identified as Susan Anderson, 50, of Excelsior, Minn.
