David Paul Soileau, a 29-year-old fisherman, went missing on September 14, 1993, when the fishing vessel Nettie H was lost at sea approximately 10 miles north of Otter Point on Unimak Island, Alaska. Three other crew members—Daniel Soileau, Peter Soileau, and Blake Grinstein—also disappeared in the same incident.
