Michael Martinez, a 53-year-old real estate agent from Los Angeles, was last seen on November 17, 2009. On that day, his 27-foot Sea Ray cruiser, named *Casey Lynn*, was found adrift and burning about two to three miles offshore in Santa Monica Bay, near Venice Pier. The fire was visible from miles away, and authorities were able to extinguish it and bring the boat ashore. However, no bodies were found on board, and Michael has not been heard from since.
At the time of his disappearance, Michael was going through a divorce and had been working for Coldwell Banker in Calabasas, California for nearly a decade. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear, and while the boat was heavily damaged, there were no immediate signs to indicate what might have happened to him. Despite investigations, no substantial leads have emerged.
The Los Angeles Police Department continues to classify his case as a missing person investigation, with potential foul play not ruled out.
