Lena Lang, 35, disappeared from the waters of Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park on October 27, 2019, while visiting the lake with a friend. She went out on an inflatable pool toy; witnesses say wind pushed her across the water, the inflatable overturned, and that was the last time she was seen. She was wearing a black two-piece swimsuit and did not know how to swim.

A 9-1-1 call prompted an immediate, large-scale search led by the National Park Service. For two weeks the effort included boat and shoreline searches, aerial support from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, involvement from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, dive searches by the Kitsap County Dive Team to about 100 feet, and remote-operated vehicle scans with side-sonar to probe deeper lake sections. Dozens of public tips were received but neither Lena nor her inflatable were found.

Lake Crescent’s surface area and depths exceeding 600 feet created a vast and challenging search environment. The case remains unresolved and the circumstances of her final moments are unknown.

Did anyone who visited Lake Crescent that day see anything that might help explain what happened to Lena?
