Rex Kelly Spakes, 32, was last seen May 3, 1992, fishing from his 19-foot bass boat about five to seven miles off Port Aransas, Texas. A boater said he argued with Spakes that day after a fishing line snapped; the dispute reportedly involved five other men in a nearby boat. On May 4 Spakes’ boat washed ashore on Mustang Island with a two-foot hole in the bow, the steering wheel twisted and the throttle set to full. Three unused life preservers remained aboard and Spakes’ personal items and identification were found on Mustang Beach. Despite an extensive search, he was never located and foul play is suspected.

Spakes was described as having a scar on his right forearm, a disabled finger and part of the upper portion of one ear missing. If anyone was on the water off Port Aransas that weekend or remembers the other boat or men involved, please share what was seen or heard.
