Mitchell Timothy Szegi, 48, disappeared after leaving Horseshoe Beach, Florida, on August 15, 2016. An avid fisherman from Ocala, he went out around noon in his 22-foot fishing boat and was expected back by nightfall. His family reported him missing the next day after all communication with him was lost.

The United States Coast Guard mounted an extensive search covering more than 10,060 square miles with multiple air and water crews, conducting over 34 searches totaling 121.5 hours. On the morning of August 17, about 9:00 a.m., Szegi’s boat was found adrift roughly 40 miles south of Carrabelle, in gear but disabled, with no sign of him on board. The search was suspended on August 18, 2016; authorities presume he drowned. Szegi and his wife Kerri had run a thoroughbred horse farm in Ocala and had been married 22 years.

Did anyone in the area around Horseshoe Beach or Carrabelle in mid-August 2016 see a 22-foot fishing boat matched to this description or notice anything unusual that weekend?
