I knew the owner of this aircraft, and I personally flew it several times. On 2/12/1981, durint a rental by an unrelated party, it disappeared while on a missed approach to Port Angeles, WA. Based on radar data it was presumed to have crashed into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Extensive searches were conducted, but strong tidal currents likely carried the wreckage beyond the search area. The pilot, the sole occupant according to the instrument flight plan, was assumed to be killed. The flight originated at Reno, NV. The pilot had reported that he was very low on fuel, which would certainly be true for a non-stop flight from Reno. It is logical to assume that fuel starvation occured during the missed approach.
