Joseph Mora was 41 and working as a commercial fisherman when he disappeared from Bradenton, Florida, on June 2, 1978. He regularly worked on boats that docked in places such as Key West and Cortez, yet the boat he usually worked on remained in its usual place when he vanished. Family searches covered multiple states and several countries but turned up no trace.

Mora is described as a Caucasian male about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 180 to 220 pounds, with thick wavy brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen in the Bradenton area and it is unclear whether anyone witnessed his final movements. His case was entered into NamUs in 2021 but otherwise remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Joseph, his routines, or saw him in the Bradenton area around June 2, 1978, please come forward with information.
