Claude Chivers, 31, and his companion Joseph Galbo, 29, disappeared during a canoe trip on 6 Mile Creek in the Turnagain Arm area near Hope, Alaska on June 18, 1983. Chivers is described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches, about 205 pounds; he was reportedly wearing blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat when last seen.

Searchers found the canoe floating upright and empty near Miller’s Creek, east of Cook Inlet, along with the men’s dog and a life jacket believed to be from their canoe. Chivers and Galbo were reported missing to the Alaska State Troopers on June 20, 1983. No further trace of either man has been reported, and authorities have long presumed they drowned in the cold, turbulent waters of Turnagain Arm.

Does anyone have memories of that June trip or information about Claude’s last known movements that could help fill the gaps in what happened?
