Details of Disappearance

Backlund was last seen in Anacortes, Washington on March 18, 2004. He has never been heard from again. After his disappearance, his white 42-foot 1988 Pleasure Craft cabin cruiser with the license plate number WN7729NJ was found in Padilla Bay, with the engine running, two anchors trailing and no one on board.

Authorities believe Backlund fell off the boat and drowned. An extensive Coast Guard search turned up no indication of his whereabouts; he is presumed lost at sea.
