John Anthony Perez, 38, was last seen January 13, 1998, when he and a friend, Raul Diaz, left Miami on a 25-foot blue and white 1986 Offshore open fishing boat bound for the Bahamas. The two were traveling with two other friends in a separate boat but lost contact with that second vessel during rough seas. Neither Perez nor Diaz have been seen since and their boat has never been found.

Perez is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes and had distinctive marks on his face and chest. Searches turned up no sign of either man, and their disappearance is still classified as lost/injured missing; rough sea conditions are believed to have played a significant role.

If anyone was on or near the route between Miami and the Bahamas that day or has information about the boats involved, please share what is known.
