Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36131) and 5 other sources
Roger Anderson, a 33-year-old man from Eureka, California, went missing on February 15, 1993, while sailing his mother's boat, the *Admiral King*. He was approximately 10 miles off the coast of Eureka when the boat reportedly sank outside state waters. Authorities received a distress signal from the boat’s emergency beacon around 7:30 a.m. Following this, rescue teams discovered debris including a life raft, wood, and the radio equipment that had sent the emergency signal. However, despite these findings, there was no trace of Anderson himself, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

Roger was described as being 5'9", 160 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a scar on his right middle finger. Though presumed deceased due to the circumstances, his body was never recovered, and his case remains classified as lost/injured missing. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Department has continued to manage the investigation, but no new significant leads have emerged in the years following his disappearance.
