Sunday marked a tragic anniversary.
It was a year ago, May 5, 2023, that a 15-year-old boy died on the Wateree River after two boats driven by other young people collided. During the past year, the Chronicle-Independent has kept in touch with various agencies as the case was investigated on several levels.
