Deputies recover body of missing duck hunter in Altamaha River

The couple's vessel hit a floating log in the Altamaha and capsized.

By Teresa Stepzinski
Story updated at 11:15 PM on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010

BRUNSWICK - A Baxley couple's duck-hunting trip ended tragically on the Altamaha River.

Appling County sheriff's deputies recovered the body of Archie Courson, 32, shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday a few hundred yards from where he and his girlfriend, Gwen Spell, were thrown overboard when their boat capsized Tuesday afternoon, Chief Deputy Lee J. Sweat said.

It appeared Courson died from exposure or drowned. An autopsy will be performed today at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation laboratory in Savannah, Sweat said.

Deputies rescued Spell, 34, shortly after midnight after finding her clinging to a submerged tree stump where she had spent about nine hours in the frigid water. She was found upstream from Deen's Landing.

Suffering from hypothermia, Spell was taken to Appling Healthcare System's hospital in Baxley, Sweat said.

Spell was listed in stable but guarded condition Wednesday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The water temperature of the river was about 35 degrees overnight Tuesday, authorities estimated.

The couple were dressed in winter clothing and wearing life vests when they launched their boat from Deen's Landing to go duck hunting about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

"They hit a log floating in the river and their boat capsized, throwing both of them into the water," Sweat said.

Spell managed to make it to the stump, but Courson was carried away by the current. When the couple didn't return by 5 p.m., family members went to the landing and found their parked truck and empty boat trailer.

Sweat said relatives reported the couple to the Sheriff's Office about 10:40 p.m. Tuesday triggering a boat search involving about 100 people including volunteers, sheriff's deputies, emergency personnel from Appling, Jeff Davis and Toombs counties and Georgia Department of Natural Resources rangers.

After locating Spell, searchers kept looking for Courson but suspended the search about 2 a.m. because of darkness and dangerous conditions on the river. They resumed the search at dawn, and DNR rangers located Courson's body near a log in the water, authorities said.

Barbara Kay Slagel - SAVANNAH - Barbara Kay Slagel passed away on January 7, 2010 in Savannah, Georgia at the age of 71. The eldest daughter of the late Ray and Gertrude Schoening, she was born on August 29, 1938 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After attending public schools in Kalamazoo, she earned a BS degree in Pharmacy from the University of Michigan. While there, she was nominated to become a member of the Circle Honor Society and Lambda Kappa Sigma. She practiced Pharmacy in Michigan at the University of Michigan Health Center and at the Carle Clinic in Urbana, Illinois. Barbara was the beloved wife of Dr. Robert Slagel. Early married years were spent together at the University of Illinois, where Bob earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry. They began their family in Burnsville, Minnesota before moving to Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania. Barbara was a loving and fabulous homemaker, cook, and mother to her two children, Deborah and David. She was always involved in their activities and served as a Girl Scout Leader. She went on to become a very attentive and much loved Grandmother. The family moved to Savannah and settled at The Landings on Skidaway Island in 1979 when Bob joined the Union Camp Corporation. In 1988, Bob's job took them to Sparta, New Jersey and then England before his retirement from Union Camp in 1996 brought them back to their beloved friends and family in Savannah. Her family has always been very proud of Barbara's generous heart and gift for gathering friendships deep and strong wherever life took her. Barbara was an active member of each community they joined. She and Bob were always involved in church, singing in the choir and playing handbells. In 1966, she became a charter member of Chapter DP of P.E.O. in Burnsville, MN, solidifying a lifelong bond with that organization. She served as president and treasurer of P.E.O. local Chapter S. In Savannah, she was a member of the Landings Club and enjoyed her years playing team tennis before moving on to golf in later life. Barbara was an avid game player, loving bridge. As early members of Skidaway Presbyterian Church, She and Bob have been keenly committed to their church family. Barbara for many years directed the handbell choir in addition to other duties. She was a former volunteer at Candler Hospital and buyer for the gift shop and was most recently a volunteer at Savannah Medbank and active with the Savannah Friends of Music puppet program. In the last few years, Orchids were a passion, and she had joined the Deep South Orchid Society. Surviving Barbara are her husband of 48 years, Robert Slagel; Daughter Deborah Wilber (Todd) and their children, Sean and Christopher Kruchten and Gabrielle Wilber of Warrenton, Virginia; Son David Slagel (Katherine) and their children, Elizabeth and Emily of Richmond Hill, Georgia; a sister Christeen Causey and her husband Jim of Plymouth, IN; a niece Sandy Garrison and her family of Plymouth, IN; a nephew Michael Causey and his family of The Woodlands, TX; and several dear cousins and extended family members.
