Carlos Amaral, 43, disappeared on November 8, 2016, after leaving Sandwich Marina, Massachusetts, for a mackerel fishing trip near Race Point on Cape Cod Bay. He was aboard a 23-foot Wellcraft named Dad Sea Cave with his son, Dylan Amaral, and a friend, Mario Fialho. The three were described as experienced fishermen who loved the sea and planned to return to the marina by 2:00 p.m.

When the boat did not return that afternoon, a friend alerted the Coast Guard by 7:00 p.m. The men’s truck and boat trailer remained parked at Sandwich Marina. An extensive multi-agency search involving boats and aircraft covered roughly 3,800 nautical miles between Sandwich and Provincetown, but no trace of the Dad Sea Cave or the three men was found. After two days without positive results, the Coast Guard suspended the active search. The disappearance remains unsolved and the case is still open.

Did anyone who knew Carlos, Dylan, or Mario notice anything unusual about their plans or preparation for that trip?
