2 men who drowned in Sprague Lake identified
The Spokesman-Review
The Spokane fishermen who drowned in Sprague Lake last week have been identified as 72-year-old James Kindlespire and 53-year-old Virgil Phillips.
Investigators believe Kindlespire, who used a wheelchair, and Phillips were trying to reel in a fish when their 10-foot fiberglass boat capsized. The men were reported overdue from a fishing trip to Lake Roosevelt on Thursday; their bodies were found in Sprague Lake on Friday.
Flotation devices were found nearby, but neither man was wearing one, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.
Another fisherman called authorities Friday after he found the capsized boat and a body floating in the lake, which is about 50 miles southwest of Spokane.

thats one heck of a portage…sadly cell phones and not keeping people informed seems to be a habit of fishermen.

To be honest this makes me sick. I had known James for sometime and his wife has spoken to KXLY and I have left a more detailed comment over there on their website under the story. I will be contacting the sheriffs department tomorrow morning that is when I should one of the TV people told me too. But I think there is alot more to this story than what people are letting on. And the reason I think this is because I knew James and I knew the supposed wife of the other guy. Who in my several years of knowing James never saw this other guy one time. But if anyone is interested in some of the info I left it on the KXLY website. This really is sickening though and hopefully the sheriffs department can use the info I have.
