Leslie John Petig, 47, disappeared from Tracyton, Washington on May 4, 1991. His empty canoe was found washed ashore near his Tracyton Beach home, and that remains the central physical clue in an otherwise sparse case. Petig was described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 220 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office searched and investigated, but no witnesses reported seeing Petig or his canoe on the water that day. Friends and family said he had not mentioned plans to go canoeing or shown unusual behavior beforehand. Investigators considered accident, voluntary disappearance, and foul play, but concrete evidence to support any conclusion was not developed and the case grew cold.

Does anyone in the Tracyton area remember Leslie, his canoe, or seeing anything on May 4, 1991 that might help fill the gaps in this case?
