Kent Lionel Munro, 25, was one of three Canadian men who vanished off Marco Island, Florida, after their boat, the Sea Esta, sank on November 4, 1994. Munro and friends Omar Shearer and David Madott left Marco River Marina that morning with owner Jeffrey Wandich to dive at the wreck of the Baja California about 55 miles southwest of Marco Island. After a short dive the boat was found mostly submerged and all four men clung to its anchor rope until it finally pulled free. With seas up to six feet they swam toward a U.S. Department of Defense light tower roughly three miles away. Wandich reached the tower alone and was rescued 35 hours later; Munro, Shearer and Madott were never found.

A two-week search by the Coast Guard, private aircraft and vessels turned up no trace. Investigators, including a brief FBI involvement, judged the incident likely an accident; divers examining the sunken Sea Esta said it may have been overloaded. Families continue to seek answers.

If anyone knew Kent Munro, his movements that weekend, or saw the Sea Esta on November 4, please share what you know.
