Stephen J. Harris was 20 when he and his 21-year-old brother, Robert W. Harris, were last seen in Jamestown, Rhode Island, on November 5, 1985. They left a note saying they were going fishing at Fort Wetherill State Park and would return by 4:00 p.m. Their father found their parked, locked vehicle at the park and, near the water on the rocks, one fishing pole and a bait container but no sign of either brother.

An extensive search of the area failed to locate Stephen or Robert. Stephen is described as a white male about 5 feet 5 inches tall, roughly 150 pounds, with brown hair; his eye color is listed as unknown. One of the brothers often wore a red vest, and Robert had recently been discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps in September 1985 after serving with the 2nd Marine Division.

Investigators consider accidental drowning, possibly from falling into the water during rough conditions, a leading theory, but no bodies have been recovered and the case remains unsolved under the Jamestown Police Department. Did anyone in the community fish at Fort Wetherill that day or see the Harris brothers near the water?
