Laurence Kailanii Brannum, a 9-year-old boy known by his middle name Kailanii, disappeared April 15, 2009, during a family camping trip near Paradise Beach in Santa Maria, California. He was last seen playing on the rocks at the north end of the beach near Mussel Rock, exploring tide pools when a wave knocked him over and swept him out to sea.

The location was remote and the nearest cell reception was a three-hour walk, so authorities were not alerted until hours later. An extensive search of the dangerous, rough waters turned up no trace of Laurence or his body. His family described him as bright, adventurous, and fond of the outdoors, animals, and sports. Investigators and family believe he likely drowned, but because his body was never recovered he remains listed as missing and the case is open.

Did anyone who was at Paradise Beach that afternoon or who remembers seeing a child near Mussel Rock come forward with information?
