Case Description

Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP98290) and 7 other sources
Jeffrey Anderson, a 51-year-old man from Denton, Texas, was last seen on November 27, 2022, after renting a boat from the Galveston Yacht Marina. Anderson, who had intended to visit the wreck of the SS Selma, departed at 2:30 p.m. with plans to return before sunset. However, he never made it back. When Anderson failed to return, the marina reported him missing at around 7 p.m. that evening.

A large-scale search and rescue operation was launched by the Coast Guard, covering over 1,500 square miles and involving both boat and helicopter crews. Despite these extensive efforts, no trace of Anderson was found, and the search was eventually suspended. His rented boat was later found washed ashore near Corpus Christi, but Anderson remains missing and is presumed lost at sea. Authorities have since encouraged anyone with additional information about his disappearance to come forward, though no new leads have emerged.

The circumstances surrounding Anderson's disappearance remain unclear, with no evidence pointing to foul play or a deliberate act. His case is still open, and his family continues to seek answers.
