William Taylor Kaminskas, 50, has been missing from Tuolumne County, California, since July 1, 2001. He was last seen at Lake Don Pedro after going there to fish and failed to return to the houseboat he shared with his wife, who reported him missing. Deputies later found his fishing boat pulled up on the shoreline of Lucas Bay, east of Fleming Meadows, with his two dogs and his wallet aboard but with Kaminskas absent.

The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office described the disappearance as the result of a catastrophe and classified the case as lost/injured missing. Local search efforts by the sheriff’s office and the United States Coast Guard were unable to locate him. At the time he vanished he was 5 feet 7 inches, 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, possibly a mustache. He was last seen wearing a black San Francisco 49ers jacket, black pants and sneakers, and had tattoos of a mouse and the name Bill on his right arm and the name Carol on his left. His nicknames are Bill and Papa Wheelie.

No contact has been made since July 1, 2001. If anyone has information about his disappearance or remembers seeing him at Lake Don Pedro that day, please share what is known.
