William Edward Andersen, 54, was last seen on October 26, 2015, on Bainbridge Island, Washington. A local who reportedly went fishing that day, Andersen was wearing blue jeans and a sweatshirt. His last known location was in the vicinity of Rich Passage, the turbulent channel separating the southern end of Bainbridge Island from the Kitsap Peninsula.

When Andersen failed to return, a search followed and his 15-foot runabout was found adrift and empty in the passage. Despite the vessel’s discovery, there was no sign of Andersen and no witnesses to his last moments. The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office investigated under case number K15-010341, but no publicly reported leads or further evidence have emerged.

The circumstances of Andersen’s disappearance remain unclear and his family has not received closure. If anyone was on or near Rich Passage on October 26, 2015, or has information about Andersen’s boat or movements that day, please come forward.
