Ryan K. Beauchamp was 17 when he was swept into the Pacific Ocean by a sneaker wave while rock climbing near the mouth of Sunset Bay, Coos Bay, Oregon, on April 28, 2000. Eyewitnesses saw the wave pull him from the rocks but were unable to intervene. He is described as having brown hair and brown eyes.

The United States Coast Guard, local law enforcement and volunteers conducted search and rescue operations along the coastline and in the ocean. Rugged terrain and unpredictable currents hampered the effort, and despite several days of searching no sign of Ryan was found.

This is recorded as a suspected accidental drowning. If anyone was with Ryan that day or has information about the events at Sunset Bay on April 28, 2000, please come forward.
