Missing 10 miles offshore? Not heard from since 1993? Seems pretty obvious his remains will not be recovered. This thread should probably be closed.

You just posted a news article from this year listing Roger as still being missing. As long as they are still publishing news articles about him and his case is open as a missing persons case, why would the thread be closed? This thread is not solely for the purpose of matching up the missing to the unidentified. This thread is here to remember the missing and for posting media updates, sleuthing the circumstances of his disappearance, etc. It is here for his family and friends if they should ever want to come comment and give more info. As it is there is very little info-- did anyone see him go out on the boat? Hear his voice over the radio? Was the rest of the shipwreck found? What caused the wreck? I can list many threads from more recent years where people were presumed lost at sea and yet we still discuss them and post updates.

Here is a little more information from his mother’s obituary. It was a family fishing business. Her late husband was a commercial fisherman. After he died:

[FONT=&amp]She was able to continue to run Byron’s commercial fishing boat, Admiral King, with her son Michael’s help and then her son Roger’s help. Unfortunately, the family tragically lost Roger, two crew men and the Admiral King in 1993.[/FONT]

Roger is still listed on the Charlie Project link:

Hope never dies, nor do memories.

My husband and I have a dear friend who has been a commercial fisherman out of Eureka for decades. I imagine he knew Roger and his Dad and brother. I’ve always hoped he will retire safely.

Thank you Lilibet. "Hope never dies, nor do memories" -- perfectly stated and much more eloquent than I could write.

It will never be a lost case to close... a witness, evidence, a call to the police can always appear and maybe
If the case can be solved... relatives always wait for some information or for him to be alive somewhere... of course it seems obvious that he drowned but that doesn't mean we should forget it... every person died like John Doe, a lost person deserves our respect. ...
either way
rest in peace
