Brent William Bassett was 25 when he disappeared from Victoria, British Columbia. He was last seen in December 1987 while living aboard a boat moored at the West Bay Marina in Esquimalt. The exact date of his disappearance is not known.

Brent lived a very quiet, routine life. His boat had no engine. He collected bottles from other boaters for extra money and worked at a Salvation Army Thrift Store. Described as friendly, trusting and with some cognitive challenges, he was 5 feet 8 inches, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. No further verified sightings have been reported and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Brent, saw him at the marina in late 1987, or has information about his movements that winter, please share what is known.
