Brooke Leonard Bennett was 39 when he disappeared from Port Angeles, Washington, after a salmon fishing trip on the evening of August 21, 2009. He and a friend, Robert Thomas Larsen, left Ediz Hook at about 6:00 p.m. in a 14-foot blue and green motorboat with a windshield. The vessel was reportedly equipped with emergency items, including life jackets and flares.

Both men worked at the Port Angeles Hardwood Mill in 2009. Bennett left behind a wife, four children and a baby granddaughter the couple were raising. When the pair did not return, search and rescue teams conducted an extensive ocean search but found no sign of the men or the boat. With no evidence of what happened after they set out, authorities’ official presumption was that they were lost at sea.

Does anyone who was on or near Ediz Hook that night or who remembers seeing a small blue and green motorboat around August 21, 2009 have information that could help clarify what happened?
