Georgios Drakontaidis, a 34-year-old Greek citizen, vanished in Virginia Beach on January 26, 1994. He was last seen attempting to board a coal-hauling ship when he lost his balance and fell from an accommodation ladder into the water. His fate after the fall is unknown and the Virginia Beach Police Department opened a missing person investigation.

The case has remained open and is treated as a long-running cold case defined by the single, abrupt incident that ended in his disappearance into the water.

Did anyone in the maritime community or who worked on coal ships in Virginia Beach in January 1994 have recollections or information about Georgios or that vessel?
