Kenneth Eugene Cutcher was 30 when he disappeared while crab fishing on the lower Columbia River. On April 2, 1984, he and two companions, 31-year-old Deon Young and 27-year-old Lynn Kassler, left Astoria, Oregon, in a 17-foot wooden dory and were last seen heading into the river near its mouth at the Pacific Ocean.

The Columbia at that point is described as treacherous, where strong river currents meet the ocean’s forces. No wreckage of the dory was ever recovered, and none of the three men were found. The account does not provide detailed records of search efforts, only that no sign of the boat or occupants surfaced and the disappearances remain unsolved.

Anyone who remembers the small dory, the three men, or has information about that April 1984 outing is asked to come forward with what they know?
