Lawrence Larry Rich was 54 when he was last reported missing from South Portland, Maine, on January 25, 2000. He is described as White, with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall and 160 to 200 pounds. NamUs lists his case as MP53310 and the United States Coast Guard as the investigating agency; he remains listed as not found.

Larry was aboard the fishing vessel Two Friends near Boon Island Ledge when the boat began taking on water from the stern and sank. Three people were aboard: one person survived after hours in the water and was rescued by helicopter, one body (identified as Harry Ross Sr.) was recovered the next day, and Larry was never recovered. Memorial accounts describe a stormy evening with very rough seas and a distress call about 4:45 p.m. before the vessel rolled.

If anyone knew Larry, worked with him, or has information about the Two Friends and that January 25, 2000 outing, please share what you remember.
