Richard Basgier, a 33-year-old man from Virginia Beach, went missing on October 3, 1987, during a fishing trip. He and a companion, Marc McDaniels, departed from Lynnhaven Inlet early that morning in a small 15-foot green Sea Eagle Trihull fishing boat, heading toward the Chesapeake Light Tower. However, they encountered a severe storm that day, producing 10- to 12-foot waves. The two men never returned, and neither they nor the boat were ever found.
