Jacob Alden Larson, 22, of Nikiski, went into the Talkeetna River on July 12, 2009, after jumping from the pilings of the Alaska Railroad bridge. The current swept him toward the Susitna River while the two men with him ran along the bank trying to keep him in sight. Searchers covered a twelve-mile stretch of the Susitna and never found him, and he's believed to have drowned.

It happened on the weekend of the Moose Dropping Festival, when a town of about 850 people was packed with visitors. A trooper spokeswoman said the town came "unglued," and troopers working the search kept getting pulled away to deal with fights and disturbances. That doesn't change what happened in the water, but it does mean the first hours of the search weren't what they could have been.

Jacob had red/auburn shoulder-length hair, a beard, blue eyes and tattoos on both arms, and some people knew him as Duce Marshall. If you were in Talkeetna that weekend or were part of the search, what do you remember?
