Cole Vilhauer Buckley, 28, disappeared from his Seattle home on May 22, 2021. Shortly after midnight he sent a brief message saying he was going to the lake, the last known communication from him. He was an avid swimmer who frequented Lake Union.

Police found his phone, wallet, and shoes at his apartment, but his wetsuit and a backpack were missing, which suggested he may have gone to the lake. The Seattle Police Department opened an investigation, but with no witnesses, sightings, or further contact, there have been few leads and the family has struggled with the possibility that he is deceased.
