Russell Schroeter was 22 when he disappeared from Valdez, Alaska. On August 2, 1977 he left his father’s tent at the Valdez Campground, space #88, and walked away without saying where he was going; that was the last confirmed sighting.

He was wearing an army green parka, black or green pants, blue and white tennis shoes, black plastic-rimmed glasses and a metal watch with an expandable band. A mole on his chin was noted. His father thought he might have gone climbing, but Russell had no climbing gear and he took no food. Alaska State Troopers searched the area under case number H771633 but found no clues.

The disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone was at Valdez Campground on August 2, 1977 or remembers seeing Russell, please share what you know.
