Travis Lamar Phillips, 20, disappeared while surfing off Dauphin Island, Alabama, on March 29, 1991. He was last seen on his surfboard drifting out from shore; friends and witnesses reported him in the water and he never returned. Travis was described as 6 feet 2 inches, 150 pounds, with blond or strawberry-blond hair, green eyes, a scar on the left side of his abdomen, surgical scars on his left elbow, and a .22 caliber bullet lodged behind his right knee.

The United States Coast Guard searched the area and recovered Travis’s surfboard about 20 miles from shore; the board’s ankle strap was broken. Search and rescue teams were unable to locate him. The Dauphin Island Police Department has kept the case open, and the prevailing belief is that he drowned, but without a body the circumstances remain unconfirmed.

If anyone was on Dauphin Island that day in March 1991 or has information about his last known movements, please come forward.
