William Sargent Judge, known as Will, was 36 when he disappeared from Parramore Island, Accomack County, Virginia. He was camping with two others and had traveled to the island by kayak; he was last seen at the campsite around midnight on October 20, 2017. At the time he was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 200 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes, wearing a light-colored shirt and camouflage-print pants.

The U.S. Coast Guard conducted an extensive 30-hour search covering 142 square miles but found no trace of Will. Both kayaks used to reach the island were recovered. The Accomack County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the official search was suspended; the case remains open. In the absence of new evidence, drowning is considered the prevailing theory, but there is no definitive conclusion.

If anyone was on Parramore Island that night or has information about Will’s movements after midnight on October 20, 2017, please come forward.
