Justin Walker, 33, a firefighter from Fairfax, Virginia, was last seen August 17, 2019, after leaving Port Canaveral, Florida, on a fishing trip with friend Brian McCluney aboard a 24-foot boat. Family reported both men missing when they failed to check in later that day.

A multiagency search led by the U.S. Coast Guard covered roughly 150,000 square miles from central Florida toward the New England coast. Helicopters, boats and planes were deployed; the only item recovered during the official search was McCluney’s gear bag, found about 50 miles off St. Augustine. After several days the Coast Guard suspended its search, while both families continued independent efforts supported by volunteers and organizations.

Walker was a professional dancer and active in youth and community groups, remembered locally for his involvement. If anyone saw Justin or the 24-foot boat on or after August 17, 2019, or has information that could help locate him, please come forward.
