Nick Lupie, 32, was last seen in Bethel, Alaska, around 8 p.m. in July 2010 when he left in his 24-foot boat bound for the village of Tuntutuliak. He was reportedly wearing a green sweater, a green float coat, tan or brown cargo pants, and a black ball cap.

Sometime after he departed, his boat was found adrift and unoccupied near Helmick Point on the Kuskokwim River. The empty vessel prompted an extensive search and rescue effort along the river and its banks, but those searches did not locate him.

The circumstances that led to the boat being found without Lupie on board remain unknown. If anyone was on the Kuskokwim River that evening or has information about his route, sightings, or the condition of the boat when it was recovered, please share what is known.
