I didn't hear, but did they specify if it was flooded?

The reason is simple: a flooded kayak means the occupant probably flipped it and may or may not have swam to shore.

A "dry" cockpit usually means that the kayak drifted away on its own, probably from the rain that would have raised the water lever in that river/stream.

I certainly hope that no loss of life will be the result, but I also like to know that emergency services/people are not on a wild goose chase that may take them away from a real emergency.

But once again, I hope this ends well!!!
