Ronald Albert Probert, known as Ron, was 19 when he disappeared from the University of Alaska campus in Fairbanks in the winter of 1976. He was last seen on December 6, 1976, leaving a dormitory room wearing a waist-length blue coat, a white shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes. The disappearance was reported to the Alaska State Troopers on December 11, 1976.

Investigators came to believe Ronald was the victim of a homicide, and his case remains cold. His description — brown hair and green eyes — is still in national missing persons databases, and the Alaska State Troopers retain the case file. The passage of time and Alaska’s rugged terrain are noted factors that have complicated the search and investigation.

Did anyone on campus in Fairbanks in December 1976 have information about Ronald’s movements, acquaintances, or the dormitory he left from?
