Charles Lee Reese, 24, was a civilian employee aboard the Military Sealift Command ship USNS Medgar Evers in early autumn 2022. On September 28, while the vessel was off the coast of Nags Head, North Carolina, he vanished and was officially presumed to have fallen overboard into the Atlantic Ocean. He is described as Black / African American, with brown eyes and black hair that may have been in bronze-colored dreadlocks.

The ship’s crew and other search and rescue assets conducted an immediate search, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service Norfolk Field Office was notified on September 29, 2022. Despite comprehensive efforts, no trace of Charles was found and the search ended without results. The investigation was handled by NCIS, but the specific circumstances that led to him going overboard remain unclear.

Did anyone on or near the ship that night see something that might explain what happened to Charles?
