Marty Lynn Eddings, 21, disappeared from the Mississippi River near Osceola, Arkansas, on November 25, 1995. He was reportedly operating a small boat to pick up a friend hunting on a river island and never arrived. His boat was later found adrift about 600 yards north of the local tugboat dock.

Investigators recovered paint and rust scrapings on a nearby barge and concluded the smaller boat had likely struck the larger vessel. Emergency crews and law enforcement searched the river but Marty was never found. The Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office treats the case as a lost or injured missing person and attributes his disappearance to an accidental drowning after a collision, although no body was recovered.

Does anyone have information about that stretch of river in 1995 or recall seeing a small boat or barge activity around November 25?
