Jefferson Brian Arms, 22, disappeared on September 18, 1992, while sailing on Lake Champlain near Plattsburgh, New York. He and two friends were on a 16-foot Sunfish about one mile east of Schuyler Island when rough water capsized the boat twice. All three were wearing life jackets and decided to swim to Schuyler Island. Jefferson’s friends reached the island and reported seeing him swimming behind them, but Jefferson never arrived.

Searchers recovered the overturned sailboat and Jefferson’s life jacket, but his body was never found. He is described as having light brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing wire-framed glasses when he disappeared. The case remains classified as a missing person, though he is presumed to have drowned.

If anyone was on or near Schuyler Island that day or has information about Jefferson’s movements on the lake, please come forward.
