Michael Dewane Hissom was 29 when he disappeared in the early morning hours of August 4, 1994. He was aboard the fishing vessel Kismet in Ilwaco, Washington, and left the boat after an argument with the captain. He was never seen or heard from again.

At the time he went missing Michael was described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a tattoo of a cross on the web of his hand. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department opened the investigation; his brother and two sisters have submitted DNA samples that are on file with the California Department of Justice Jan Bashinski DNA Laboratory.

Few details have been released publicly and the circumstances of his departure from the Kismet remain unclear. Does anyone have information about Michael, the Kismet, or that area of Ilwaco on August 4, 1994?
