Details of Disappearance​

Byhre was last seen in San Diego, California on February 10, 2015. He took his 28-foot sailboat, the Princess, out from the Southwestern Yacht Club on Shelter Island, never returned and has never been heard from again. A photo of the Princess is posted with this case summary; it has a deep blue hull with a white stripe near the bottom.

An extensive search turned up no indication of either Byhre or the boat. He normally takes one-day trips and enjoys whale watching. Due to his hearing impairment, he doesn't own a cellular phone; while on trips, he would normally communicate with his wife of 34 years via email on a tablet he took with him. His case remains unsolved.
