Neil Wayne Eddleman, 47, disappeared on October 17, 2003, during a fishing trip off Naples, Florida. He and his 13-year-old son, Neil Alan Eddleman, were aboard a 24-foot boat called What’s Left with 61-year-old family friend Gary Lisk. The trio left for a popular fishing spot near a shipwreck southwest of Marco Island; conditions were described as calm and safety precautions had been taken.

The last known contact from the boat was at 7:00 p.m., when Neil Alan tried to call his girlfriend. When the group failed to return the next day, Neil Wayne’s wife reported them missing. An extensive U.S. Coast Guard search turned up no immediate trace; on November 3, 2003, wreckage of What’s Left washed ashore near Cape Canaveral, more than 500 miles from where the trip began. Lisk’s body was inside the boat, but Neil Wayne and his son have never been located. Lisk’s autopsy did not determine a clear cause of death.

Investigators noted odd details such as changed locks at Lisk’s home after he disappeared and corrupted computer files, which have fueled speculation about foul play; no definitive explanation has been reported. If anyone was on that boat or has information about the trip or the wreckage, please come forward.
