Jeremy Dewayne Ashley, 29, went missing on November 9, 2017, while hiking off-trail at College Cove Beach in Trinidad, California. He is a white male, brown hair and brown eyes, 6 feet 3 inches tall, about 215 pounds. At the time he disappeared he wore a black jacket and gray pants and had several distinctive tattoos: a scroll with writing on his ribcage, a paw print on his upper chest, and a tattoo on his lower abdomen.

Strong waves pulled him out to sea; a friend ran to her car to get a phone and call for help, but when she returned he was no longer visible. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department conducted an extensive search for several hours before it was called off at night. The only item recovered was one of his shoes and his body has not been found; he is presumed to have drowned. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department is the investigating agency.

Does anyone who was in the Trinidad area that afternoon or who knew Jeremy have additional information that could help clarify what happened?
