Michael Cisarik, 49, a former civil rights attorney from Valparaiso, Indiana, disappeared while on a solo sailing voyage in June 1995. After leaving his legal career in California he bought a 40-foot yacht named The Rebel and set out from Auckland, New Zealand, for the Tonga Islands on June 2 or 3, a trip normally taking about two weeks.

Cisarik’s last communication came around June 6 or 7, when he reported boisterous weather and water splashing over the deck. He was last detected roughly 220 miles north of New Zealand. He reportedly had provisions for six months and did not send any emergency signals. Marine authorities suggested he may have fallen overboard, but no definitive conclusion has been reached and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about his voyage, the yacht The Rebel, or sightings in that area during early June 1995?
