Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP42103) and 4 other sources
Dennis Bagnall, a 24-year-old from Battle Creek, Michigan, went missing on December 6, 1986, while on a trip to the Bahamas. Dennis and his friend, Tony Schwark, had flown from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Freeport, Bahamas, to retrieve a boat for a friend of Dennis. They were accompanied by a Bahamian guide and left the Running Mon Marina around 11:30 AM, with plans to sail back to Fort Lauderdale by 6 PM. However, neither the men nor the boat arrived, and they were never heard from again.

At the time of his disappearance, Dennis was described as being 5'10", weighing 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a distinctive feature: the first section of his right middle finger was missing. He also had a faint blue birthmark on the right side of his face, near his cheekbone. Foul play is suspected in the case, but no evidence or leads have surfaced to provide answers. Authorities have been seeking information to help resolve this decades-old mystery, but both Dennis and his friend remain missing.

This case remains unsolved, and investigators continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
