Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP58773) and 2 other sources
John Pershing Brady, aged 49, was last seen on October 4, 1987, in Dunedin, Florida. Brady, along with two others, Charles and Ginger Martin, departed on a 38-foot SeaRay boat with plans to travel to Haiti. Curiously, their disappearance was not reported to law enforcement until February 26, 1988, several months after they were last seen. There has been little information about what happened to them after they embarked on the journey, and no significant leads have surfaced since.

The case remains unresolved, with authorities continuing to search for answers about what may have transpired during their trip. Despite the time that has passed, the mystery surrounding Brady and his companions persists, and the investigation remains open as law enforcement and family members seek closure.
Last Seen: Oct 4, 1987
