Randal Paul Gary, a 50-year-old psychotherapist from Ontario, Canada, disappeared from the cruise ship Veendam in May 2003. He boarded in Ketchikan, Alaska, on a trip with calls planned for Juneau and Skagway but did not disembark at either port. The last confirmed sighting was at 10:30 p.m. on May 16, the cruise’s final night, and he was missing when the ship docked in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Randal’s cabin contained all his personal effects — passport, wallet, cash, credit cards, driver’s license and the insulin he needed for diabetes — and the key card was still in the room. The room had a sealed window and no balcony; the bed appeared sat on but not slept in, and a do not disturb sign had been displayed much of the voyage. Three partially empty bottles of alcohol were also found, which family and acquaintances said was out of character.

Vancouver police investigated and considered suicide but those who knew Randal said that seemed unlikely; he had no history of mental illness and had been in good spirits. The disappearance remains unresolved. Did anyone on the Veendam in May 2003 see Randal or notice anything unusual that night?
