Franklin Roth, 65, vanished from the Alaska skies after boarding a white Beechcraft V35A with red and blue trim, tail number N216JB, on August 17, 1992. He was aboard the plane with Richard Johnson; their last transmission placed the aircraft about 10 miles east of Gulkana before all contact ceased.

An 11-day search and rescue effort canvassed the surrounding wilderness but found no wreckage, distress signals, or trace of either man. Official records record the departure date, the aircraft description, and that final known position; no confirmed remains or wreck have been reported.

Who remembers seeing that Beechcraft in the Gulkana area on or after August 17, 1992, or has information about Franklin Roth’s or Richard Johnson’s intended destination or plans for that flight?
