Missing since April 9th, 1995 from Neah Bah, WA

Circumstances : Child's photo shown age-progressed to 19 years. Herda was hiking with his family on Shi Shi Beach Trail at the Makah Indian Reservation on April 9, 1995. The Reservation is located near Neah Bay on Washington's Olympic Coast. Herda was last seen when his family began walking up a trail to exit the beach. He was unable to follow them up the slope so they agreed to meet him at the beach. He never showed up. Herda has never been seen again. He was wearing a white t-shirt, green pants, white socks and white Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' shoes with red and white lightning bolts imprinted on them.

Herda's grandfather was chief of police in the area at the time he disappeared. An extensive search by the Coast Guard, divers, and tracker dogs failed to locate Herda. Some footprints were found, but they seemed to go on for awhile, then stop, then start again. No further evidence was ever located. There are several trails to the beach besides the Shi Shi Trail. One, the Ozette Trail, leads to a homeless community.

Herda's parents believe he was abducted, but police think he may have been swept out to sea and drowned. There is no evidence to support these or any other theories. Herda remains missing and his case is unsolved.
