Arthur Johnson, Jr., 42, and his sister-in-law Charlene Johnson, 37, left Dillingham, Alaska, late on the evening of September 22, 2005, for a duck hunt in a 16-foot Lund skiff with their yellow Labrador, Flash. When they did not return after midnight, they were reported overdue and a search began amid poor weather conditions.

The next morning Flash was found alive, swimming in Dillingham harbor. About 1:00 PM the overturned skiff was located on a sandbar roughly 5.5 miles from the boat harbor, southwest of the city — the opposite direction of their intended route. Debris from the trip was found about half a mile from the harbor. Despite searches by the Alaska State Troopers and volunteers, Arthur and Charlene were never found and the official search was suspended after a few days, though family and friends continued looking.
