Philip Carroll Fisher, 33, disappeared after a canoe overturned on Bear Lake, about six miles north of Seward, Alaska, in June 1978. He was last seen June 24, 1978, and reported missing the next day; the Alaska State Troopers opened the case as D78-2237.

Fisher was described as a white male with brown hair and a beard, brown eyes, and a scar on the left side of his chest. On the day he went missing he wore a denim jacket over a denim shirt, blue jeans and rust-colored boots. He and companion Renee Wade both entered the water when their canoe capsized; neither person was ever located despite search efforts.

The circumstances that led the canoe to capsize are not detailed in reports. If anyone knew Philip, Renee, or their plans on Bear Lake that June, any information could still help clarify what happened.
