Andrew Henry, a 69-year-old American Indian / Alaska Native man, left Ruby for Galena on a snowmachine on January 7, 2016 wearing a red and black jacket, pants and gloves. Concern grew when he did not return, and the Alaska State Troopers were notified the next day.

Searchers found snowmachine tracks leading to an open hole in the ice on the Yukon River about two miles above the Yuki River. The victim’s snowmachine was later recovered from the water; Andrew himself was not found. The scene and the river’s shifting ice floes point toward a sudden accident on the frozen river.

Few additional personal details are included in the report. Does anyone have information about Andrew’s travel route, timing that day, or connections in Ruby or Galena who might help fill in what happened?
