Bryce Florian Herda was six years old when he vanished from Shi Shi Beach on the Makah Reservation in Neah Bay, Washington, on April 9, 1995. He was with a group of eight children and one adult; when part of the group climbed a steep trail Bryce could not manage the ascent and was told to wait on the beach. When they returned he was gone. He was last seen in a white t-shirt, green pants, white socks and red-and-black Power Ranger shoes with a lightning-bolt design. He had sandy brown hair, brown eyes, a scar near the right hairline, a freckle on his right temple and a tan birthmark on the back of his upper leg.

A search began within 45 minutes and quickly expanded to roughly 30 people and then to Coast Guard, helicopters, divers, rock climbers, dog teams and hundreds of volunteers and agencies including the U.S. Air Force. Footprints that started and stopped intermittently were found and scent dogs picked up a trail about a mile north, but no trace of Bryce or his clothing was recovered. Investigators considered drowning as a possibility given the powerful coastline; Bryce’s parents believe he was abducted. The official search was called off after a week and the case remains open and unsolved.

Did anyone who was at Shi Shi Beach that day or who knew Bryce or his family have information that could help explain what happened?
