Keion Jamir Dade, 24, vanished from the Catalina Express ferry on June 10, 2021, when witnesses say he fell overboard about three miles off Long Beach at roughly 5:45 p.m. A crew member threw a life ring, but Keion was lost in the water. A large multiagency search using helicopters and boats covered more than 600 square miles without finding him.

Keion had recently secured financing to start a trucking business with his brother and is remembered by family and friends as loving and family-oriented. Authorities later called off the official search, and his family has continued organizing private searches with local divers and boaters. His body has not been recovered and the case remains open as a lost or injured missing person. The reason he went overboard is unclear, and investigators have been reviewing whether ferry safety protocols were followed.

If anyone was on the Catalina Express that evening or has information about Keion’s disappearance, please come forward.
