Daugherty, 57, was last seen by a friend late on the evening of May 22 on a dock at Sunrise Cove Marina. When his neighbors awoke the next morning, they could not find him, sheriff’s officials reported at the time.
On May 23, after a day-long search, game wardens with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources located his body using side scan sonar. Daugherty was found alongside the dock close to where his boat was moored.
