On October 9, 1988, 11-year-old Marisol Hundley was swept into the ocean by a large wave near Baldhead Cliff in York, Maine, while visiting the area with her family. Witnesses said Marisol and her father, Terry Hundley, were caught by a 15-foot wave while standing on the rocks; Terry attempted a rescue and both were swept into the rough water. Terry’s body was recovered by a fisherman on October 29 off the coast of Wells, Maine, but Marisol’s body was never found.

Searches by land and sea were conducted during a weekend storm with especially high, treacherous waves that hampered rescue efforts. A denim jacket belonging to Marisol was later identified among items found floating about a mile off the coast. The family had recently moved from Colorado to New Hampshire, where Terry had taken a job as town administrator in Durham. The search was eventually called off, and Marisol was not recovered.

Does anyone have information about that stretch of coast or recall the events around Baldhead Cliff on October 9, 1988?
