James Z. Szekely, 51, disappeared from East Hampton, New York on November 28, 1998. He was a Caucasian fisherman about 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing around 220 pounds, with graying hair and hazel eyes.

His disappearance was filed with the East Hampton Town Police Department and remains an open cold case. Szekely’s name appears on a historical marker at Montauk Point near the lighthouse honoring fishermen lost to the sea. Little else is publicly documented about his final hours or movements before he vanished.

If anyone knew James, worked with him, or has information about his boat or last trip, please come forward with what you remember.
