Ernest Schmidt, 66, of St. Augustine Beach, Florida, was last seen on June 3, 2007, near Mary Street after a disagreement with his wife of 44 years. Around 3:00 p.m. he walked north along the beach wearing a blue and white floral bathing suit, without shoes or a shirt, and carrying no wallet, phone, or keys. His wife reported him missing at 5:00 p.m. after he failed to return.

Schmidt had told his wife he wanted to go swimming, but it is unknown whether he entered the water or left the area by land. Searches of the beach and nearby areas found no trace. He has a six-inch surgical scar on his shoulder and his disappearance is described as uncharacteristic. Local authorities continue to investigate and are asking for tips.

If anyone was on the beach near Mary Street that afternoon or remembers seeing Ernest that day, please share what you know.
