Licheng Fang, 38, of Santa Clara County, California, was last seen the evening of December 17, 2020, in Stock Island, Florida. He had been staying at the Stock Island Yacht Club and Marina and left on a late-night kayak trip around 10:00 p.m. in a light blue tandem kayak with two white seats, wearing a white shirt and dark pants. He was last seen heading into waters near Key West and was reported missing when he failed to return.

A multiagency search including the U.S. Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission conducted aerial and water searches but found no trace of Fang or the kayak. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches, with black hair, black eyes, and wearing eyeglasses. His status is listed as Lost/Injured Missing and no foul play is suspected. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

Anyone who knew Fang or saw him that night is asked to contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office with information.
