Eugene Harold Hyatt, known as Gene, was 18 when he and his 16-year-old girlfriend, Kami Luella Vollendroff, disappeared from the Newport, Oregon coast on November 21, 2001. The couple had been visiting Eugene’s grandparents and left an oceanfront condominium around 10:00 a.m. to explore the tide pools at Boiler Bay State Park in nearby Depoe Bay. That was the last confirmed sighting of either of them.

Eugene is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 140 to 150 pounds. He was wearing a white Stayton Eagles sweatshirt and sneakers when last seen. A prevailing theory from law enforcement is the pair were swept out to sea during a powerful storm; one of Eugene’s tennis shoes was found near Boiler Bay Cove a few days later. Extensive searches produced no other signs and neither body has been recovered, leaving the case open and unresolved.

Did anyone in the area at Boiler Bay on November 21, 2001, see Eugene or Kami, or notice anything unusual that morning?
