Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5177) and 5 other sources
Gregory Samuel Snyder, 28, was last seen on November 27, 2000, in Selbyville, Delaware. His disappearance remains a mystery. On that day, Delaware State Police were called after Gregory's brother, Tim Snyder, reported him missing. The investigation led officers to the family’s beach house in Keenwick, Delaware, but there were no notes or indications explaining his whereabouts. Authorities discovered a gun case with a full magazine of 9mm bullets, but no gun was present, raising concerns. Neighbors mentioned seeing Gregory loading an ocean kayak onto his truck the week before, though he later returned without it.

Gregory was an avid scuba diver and kayaker, and his brother noted his physical strength and experience on the water, suggesting he could handle long-distance kayaking. His vehicle was later found in Ocean City, Maryland, just south of the Delaware border, parked near the oceanfront. Missing from the car were his kayak and a 9mm handgun, but there were no signs of foul play in the vehicle itself. Adding to the puzzle, Gregory's credit cards had been canceled about three weeks before his disappearance, leaving him without easy access to money.

Despite extensive searches, neither Gregory, his kayak, nor his handgun have been found. His case remains unsolved, leaving his family and investigators with many unanswered questions. Some speculate that he may have embarked on a dangerous kayaking trip, while others wonder if foul play was involved.
