Richard Joseph Kemp, 58, of Mission Viejo, California, was last seen June 18, 2009. He left home that day and boarded the Catalina Express ferry the next morning from Dana Point Harbor headed for Avalon Harbor on Catalina Island. He called his wife just before boarding and then vanished.

Kemp’s wallet, phone, and backpack were later found on the ferry, but there is no record of him disembarking at Avalon Harbor. The Coast Guard conducted an extensive search of the waters between Dana Point and Catalina Island that turned up no trace. Investigators suspect he may have fallen overboard, but the circumstances remain unclear.

He left behind his wife and two adult sons; the case remains unsolved. If anyone remembers Richard on that trip or saw anything unusual on the ferry that morning, please share what was seen or heard.
