Michael Martinez, a 53-year-old real estate agent from Los Angeles, was last seen on November 17, 2009. That day his 27-foot Sea Ray cruiser, named Casey Lynn, was found adrift and burning about two to three miles offshore in Santa Monica Bay, near Venice Pier. The fire was visible from miles away; authorities extinguished it and towed the boat ashore, but no bodies were found on board and Michael has not been heard from since.

At the time he disappeared Michael was going through a divorce and had worked for Coldwell Banker in Calabasas for nearly a decade. The boat was heavily damaged but investigators reported no immediate signs that clearly explained what happened. The Los Angeles Police Department classifies the case as a missing person investigation and has not ruled out foul play.

Did anyone in the Santa Monica or Venice area see the Casey Lynn or notice anything unusual on or near the water that day?
