Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37348) and 1 other source
On a summer day in 1991, a 19-year-old male named Larry James Lindquist was last seen in Newport, Oregon. The specific date of his disappearance is documented as July 22nd of that year. The circumstances surrounding his last known moments are connected to a boating accident that occurred in the coastal waters near Newport. Since that day, there has been no sign of Larry, and his case has remained a painful mystery for those who knew him. The quiet coastal town was left with questions as the days turned into years, and the hope of his return began to fade.

In the years that followed Larry Lindquist's disappearance, information about his case has become increasingly scarce in publicly available records. While his name is listed among the missing persons in Oregon, detailed accounts of the boating accident and the subsequent search efforts are not readily found. This lack of accessible information has left a void in the narrative of his story, making it difficult for those who did not know him to understand the full scope of the tragedy. The absence of widespread media coverage or accessible public records has contributed to the case fading from public consciousness over time.

The investigation into what happened to Larry Lindquist remains an open but cold case. With no new leads or evidence emerging over the decades, the trail has grown cold, leaving his family and friends without the closure they deserve. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and tragic disappearance with very limited information available to the public. It serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and enduring grief for those who continue to hope for answers.
