Vernon Kenneth Nash Jr., a 36-year-old man, was last seen on January 26, 1985, in St. Petersburg, Florida. He and a friend, Jess Willard Gilbert, set out on a 24-foot fishing vessel for a shark fishing trip. They were expected to return by January 29 but never made it back, and the boat was never located.
The circumstances surrounding their disappearance are concerning.
Nash and Gilbert are both presumed lost at sea, but there have been no concrete leads or discoveries related to their case. Eyewitness accounts and the lack of any distress signals or sightings add to the mystery of their disappearance.
Nash is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing between 165 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes. He has distinguishing marks, including tattoos on both forearms and a scar on his right arm. The investigation into their disappearance remains open, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward.Last Seen: Jan 26, 1985
