Howard Pryce, a 45-year-old Jamaican national, went missing on March 9, 2012, after joining a group that paid to be smuggled from the Bahamas toward Miami. Pryce spoke with his sister by phone that day and said he was preparing to depart with two Turkish nationals named Huseyin Oskan and Veysi Oral. The group never arrived in Miami and conflicting accounts emerged: some reports suggested U.S. immigration authorities intercepted the vessel, while others later claimed the boat sank.

No physical evidence of a shipwreck or any trace of Pryce or the others has been publicly reported. Both Bahamian and U.S. authorities have been involved and Pryce’s family has expressed frustration over the lack of progress; private investigators have also been engaged without producing closure. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Howard Pryce, the vessel’s passengers, or observed activity off the Bahamas or Florida coast around March 9, 2012, please come forward with any information.
