Blake Remington Kepley, 20, disappeared from the Holland America cruise ship Oosterdam on July 22, 2011, while the ship was sailing between Sitka and Ketchikan, Alaska. He failed to disembark with his family in Ketchikan and was last seen in the early morning hours. Reports differ on when the cruise line was first notified, with times given as about 7:00 a.m. or about 2:30 p.m.; the cruise line contacted the U.S. Coast Guard at about 4:00 p.m. to report a possible overboard.

The Coast Guard conducted an extensive search involving MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters, the Cutter Naushon and a 47-foot Motor Life Boat from Station Ketchikan, covering over 352 square miles of the Inside Passage. Searchers worked in clear weather and calm seas but suspended operations after nearly 24 hours with no sign of Blake. The cruise line said no video was available to explain his disappearance; Blake’s mother later received a Coast Guard investigative report that contained no conclusions and only one blurry surveillance image with the person’s face obscured.

Does anyone who was on that cruise or nearby that day have information about Blake’s movements on deck that might help his family find answers?
