Phillip Mounts, known as Phil, was 20 when he disappeared after an evening with friends in Lihue, Kauai. He was last seen on November 26, 1999, after sharing a meal; what happened after he left the group is unclear. One possibility raised is that he went for a solitary swim that night, and the area where he may have entered the water is known for dangerous, unpredictable tides. No definitive evidence points to that or any other outcome.

At the time he vanished Phillip was described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 0 inches tall, weighing about 140 to 150 pounds, with long brown hair and brown eyes. He sometimes wore a mustache, beard, or goatee, and had a tattoo of a fairy on his right shoulder blade. He may have been wearing purple pants when last seen. The Kauai Police Department investigated but the case remains unsolved and the timeline of his last hours is incomplete.

If anyone was with Phillip that night, saw him afterward, or remembers someone matching his description near the shore, please share what is known.
