Jerry Melinis, 37, of South Lake Tahoe was last seen on March 15, 1994, and has not been seen or heard from since. His employer reported him missing after he failed to show up for work for a week. Melinis’ vehicle was later found parked near Timber Cove Lodge, close to Timber Cove Marina, but his boat and trolling motor — things he usually kept with him — were missing and have never been located.

He is described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 185 pounds, with brown hair. Aside from the vehicle and the missing boat equipment, no significant clues have emerged to explain his disappearance and the case remains open. If anyone has information about Jerry Melinis, please contact the appropriate authorities.
