Charles Alper Missing Person Case

Charles Alper, a 28-year-old fisherman, was last seen on Friday, March 4, 2011, aboard the 57-foot fishing vessel named the Collector. The vessel was located approximately one mile northeast of Galilee, in Narragansett, Rhode Island, at the time of his disappearance. Alper, a resident of North Kingstown, was reported missing after the boat's captain went below deck for a brief period and returned to find him gone. It is believed that he went overboard.

The United States Coast Guard initiated a search and rescue operation for Alper. The search efforts included a 41-foot boat from the Point Judith station and an 87-foot patrol boat, the Cutter Tiger Shark, from Newport. A Falcon jet was also dispatched from Air Station Cape Cod to assist in the search. Despite these efforts, the search was suspended after covering a significant area without locating him.

At the time of his disappearance, Charles Alper was described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. The Rhode Island State Police are the primary investigating agency for this case. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP25434.
