Manuel Alvarez De Estrada was 43 when he disappeared near Cape Yakataga on September 4, 1987. Case records list several name variations (Alvarez De Estrada, Manuel Alvarez Deestrada, Manuel Estrada, Marques Decamarines, Manuel Marquues De Camarines). He is described as White/Caucasian, about 5 feet 6 inches and 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

De Estrada vanished during a rafting accident in the remote coastal wilderness along the Gulf of Alaska. He was reportedly dressed for the wet conditions — a wool shirt, wool pants, chest waders, rain gear, and possibly a gold necklace with a cross — but search efforts failed to locate him, his clothing, or remains. The Alaska State Troopers handled the investigation, and the case remains an unresolved missing-person record in the state’s files.

Does anyone have information about De Estrada’s last known movements near Cape Yakataga or recognize any of the name variations listed?
