Carl A. King, 55, disappeared during a weekend visit to Natchez, Mississippi, from his home in Bossier City, Louisiana. On the night of Saturday into Sunday, June 22–23, 2019, he and a female companion were returning to their hotel from the Under the Hill district when floodwaters from the Mississippi River blocked Silver Street. Carl removed his boots and walked past barricades near the boat ramp at Silver Street and D.A.

Biglane Street to wade through the flooded area. His companion, Judy Martin, says he nearly reached a do not enter sign on the far side before he suddenly went under and did not resurface. A 911 call was placed that night; subsequent searches by the Natchez Police Department, fire personnel, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Adams County Search and Rescue and the volunteer Cajun Navy 2016 used air, boat and foot patrols but found no trace of him. Authorities now presume he is deceased, but his body has not been recovered and the disappearance remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Natchez or the riverfront area see Carl that night or have information about the flood conditions near Silver Street?
