Chaundre Cross, a radiation oncologist from Naples, Florida, disappeared after setting sail from the Naples Bay Resort and Marina on August 9, 2022, aboard his 34-foot boat named Vitamin Sea. The vessel was found the next day adrift about 16 miles south of Sanibel Island, but there was no sign of Cross.

The U.S. Coast Guard mounted an extensive search covering over 13,000 square miles with helicopters and patrol boats for roughly 100 hours before suspending the effort on August 14, 2022. Authorities have not reported any indication of foul play, and no link has been made between his disappearance and a divorce filing by his wife on the same day he went missing—though that timing has attracted media attention.

Cross’s family, including his three children, have thanked search teams and asked for privacy. The case remains open; anyone with information is asked to contact local law enforcement.
