Jean Frottier, a 63-year-old commercial fisherman from Wellfleet, Massachusetts, went missing on November 18, 2012, after his fishing vessel, the *Twin Lights*, capsized off the coast of Provincetown, near Race Point. Frottier and his deckhand, Eric Rego, were scalloping when the boat encountered trouble, likely due to entangled gear. While Rego was rescued by a nearby vessel, Frottier tragically disappeared with his boat as it sank into the waters.
Despite an extensive search by the U.S. Coast Guard and local authorities, which included aerial and sea operations, Frottier's body was never recovered. His foot was later found, leading to the issuance of a death certificate. Frottier was a seasoned fisherman who had spent most of his life at sea, and his loss deeply impacted the Wellfleet and Provincetown fishing communities. The exact cause of the boat's capsizing remains unclear, though it is presumed to have been an accident caused by equipment failure.
Efforts to locate Frottier or further remains have been unsuccessful, and he is presumed lost at sea.Last Seen: Nov 18, 2012
