Samuel Herndon Butler, 24, was last seen on June 29, 2009, in Coffman Cove on Prince of Wales Island. That evening he attended a party and witnesses reported he left in his boat, operating it erratically. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and Doc Marten boots and is described as having brown hair and blue eyes.

A submerged boat matching his was later found in Snow Passage between Bushy Island and Zarembo Island. Search and rescue teams conducted an extensive search of the passage and nearby islands but were unable to locate Samuel. The Alaska State Troopers filed an official missing person report on June 29, 2009, and he remains listed as missing.

The submerged vessel suggests a possible boating accident, but no body has been recovered and the case remains open. Does anyone have information about Samuel’s last known movements in Coffman Cove or who attended that gathering?
