Three-year-old Jesse J. Davidson disappeared from Seward, Alaska on August 2, 1977, along with Carolyn Davidson and John Davidson during a boat trip bound for Driftwood Bay. Jesse was described as a Caucasian boy about 36 inches tall and 32 pounds, last seen wearing a yellow poncho. The family’s vessel was a 16-18 foot wooden skiff, heavily built with a flat bottom, painted dark gray with a blue cast and fitted with two outboard motors. Neither the skiff nor any equipment or personal items were ever recovered.

Alaska State Troopers and other agencies conducted an extensive search of the waters and shorelines along the planned route but found no debris or sign of the family. The absence of physical clues has left the case unresolved and the family’s fate unknown. If anyone was in the Seward area or on those waters on August 2, 1977, and remembers seeing the Davidson skiff or the family, please share what was seen.
