James Andrew Williamson, 50, vanished from Westport, Kentucky in the spring of 2010 after leaving Rivers Edge Marina on May 17 for a solo run on the Ohio River. He was headed to the Westport boat dock to pick up a friend but never arrived; the friend waited and then reported him missing when Williamson failed to appear.

Search efforts located Williamson’s boat but not him. The vessel showed damage: a loose motor and a bent propeller, consistent with striking an object and supporting the working theory that a sudden jolt could have thrown him overboard. He is described as a white male, brown hair, hazel eyes, 5 feet 11 inches, 210 pounds, with scars on both hands. The Oldham County Police handled the investigation, which centers on a possible boating accident.

If anyone witnessed Williamson’s May 17 trip on the Ohio River, knew his usual routes, or saw a damaged boat matching that description, please come forward with information.
