Lawrence Michael Hanson, 20, was living in Juneau when he made a phone call in July 1982 saying he planned to leave on the next ferry for his home in Hoonah, about thirty miles away. He never arrived in Hoonah and has not been seen or heard from since that call.

The official missing person report was not filed until February 15, 1983. Details about any search efforts or the initial investigation are scarce. The Alaska State Troopers are listed as the investigating agency and his information appears in national missing-person databases.

Very little is publicly known about Lawrence’s movements after that last call, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unresolved. If anyone knew Lawrence, saw him in Juneau or on the ferry in July 1982, or has information that could help, please come forward.
