Taylor Kayjean Machado, 21, was last seen aboard the U.S.S. Carter Hall on April 9, 2016, while the ship was about 60 nautical miles off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, during training operations. A gunner’s mate from Paso Robles, California, she graduated Paso Robles High School in 2013 and enlisted that year, reporting to the Carter Hall in May 2014. Her absence was discovered about 4:20 p.m. and prompted an immediate search and rescue operation by the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.

The search covered 22,388 square nautical miles over 72 hours, involving eight ships and multiple aircraft, but turned up no sign of Machado; water temperatures at the time were reported in the low sixties to low seventies. The official search was suspended after three days. Machado is presumed to have drowned, and an investigation into the circumstances of her disappearance was opened.

Did anyone onboard the Carter Hall or involved in the 2016 search have information about Machado’s last known movements or routine aboard the ship?
