Kami Luella Vollendroff was 16 when she and her 18-year-old boyfriend, Eugene Hyatt, went missing from the Oregon coast on November 21, 2001. The pair left Eugene’s grandparents’ oceanfront condominium in Depoe Bay around 10:00 a.m. to walk to the tide pools at Boiler Bay State Park and were never seen again. Kami was described as a white female, 5 feet 7 inches, about 130 pounds, with brown hair with blonde streaks, blue eyes, pierced ears, wearing a white sweatshirt and black pants.

Authorities initially considered that a powerful wave might have swept the couple out to sea; a storm had hit the area and one of Eugene’s shoes turned up near Boiler Bay Cove a few days later. Neither body was ever recovered, and some family members and Coast Guard personnel questioned whether both victims could be lost at sea without any remains being found, prompting speculation about possible foul play. A later tip about a lookalike in a modeling ad was ruled out after documentation identified the model as someone else.

Does anyone have memories of the Depoe Bay or Boiler Bay area on November 21, 2001, or information that could help clarify what happened to Kami and Eugene?
