William Henry Forshee Jr., 17, was last seen April 16, 1973, when he and three men left on an overnight fishing trip from the Captain’s Landing Marina on Marco Island. The group included his father William Forshee Sr., and two other men identified as Minni Benny Gaskins and DeWitt Lewis. Their truck and boat trailer were found at the marina, but the 18-foot outboard boat and all four men never returned and have not been located.

Another man, Robert Stone, disappeared from a nearby area around the same time; it is not known whether his case is connected. Extensive searches turned up no trace of the men or the boat. Foul play has been suspected, but no concrete evidence has been reported to explain what happened.

If anyone knew William Forshee Jr., his family, or the fishing party from April 1973, can you share information that might help clarify what happened that night?
