Bill David Wolf, 65, was last seen leaving his Chesapeake, Virginia home on Athens Court on the afternoon of July 23, 2024. Family members report he was having a mental health episode when he departed. He left in a silver Ford F-150 wearing a wet suit.
The next day the U.S. Coast Guard found an abandoned catamaran three miles offshore near Ocean View, Norfolk. Some of Mr. Wolf’s personal belongings were aboard, but he was not. A coordinated search by the Coast Guard, Virginia Marine Police and the Chesapeake Police Department has recovered his truck but has found no trace of him since he left home.
Mr. Wolf is described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 188 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. His wife, Cynthia, and sons, Thomas and David, say he had struggled with mental health previously but had never been missing this long. The investigation remains open.
If anyone saw Bill Wolf, the silver Ford F-150, or the catamaran around July 23–24 near Chesapeake or Ocean View, please come forward with information.
