Kenneth Humiston, 77, of Naples was last seen May 1, 2024. His kayak was found adrift about three nautical miles off Bonita Beach, Florida, and documents belonging to Humiston were located inside the kayak, prompting an extensive search that has continued without further developments.

The search has included the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Coast Guard, with efforts concentrating on the Gulf of Mexico, Estero Bay and Wiggins Pass. Humiston was a retired engineer known locally for coastal consulting; his family and friends say his disappearance has been deeply felt.

Anyone who saw Humiston or his kayak on or after May 1, or who has information about his whereabouts, is asked to contact local authorities.
