Six-year-old Rex Hill disappeared on May 24, 1980, after a boating accident at Palisades Reservoir in Bonneville County, Idaho. He was on a fishing trip in a 14-foot aluminum boat with his father, Larry Hill, and two others identified as Laddie Schiess and Schiess’s 10-year-old daughter Toni, plus four other people aboard. The boat capsized about 100 yards from shore in rough weather and surface water near 51 degrees.

Four passengers were rescued from the water, including other children, but Rex, his father Larry, Laddie, and Toni were not found despite extensive search efforts. The deep water and adverse conditions made recovery impossible, and the missing are presumed drowned; their bodies have never been recovered, leaving families without closure.

Are there any witnesses or family members with memories of that day who can provide information about the trip or the rescue efforts?
