Carman Richard Kellogg, 35, vanished from Anchorage, Alaska in the winter of 1988 after telling family on January 19 that he was going out for an afternoon of shopping. He had a custodial appointment that day to finalize legal custody of his 15-year-old son and was said to be looking forward to it. Carman is described with brown, shoulder-length hair and a noticeable skin discoloration on his right cheek; he was last seen wearing tan Carhartt overalls, a blue denim vest, Levi’s and black cowboy boots.

Carman’s pickup was found abandoned at Anchorage International Airport, but airline ticket agents reported not recognizing him and investigators found no evidence he purchased or boarded a flight that day. Authorities considered foul play early in the case and the official missing persons file notes the possibility of a drug-related homicide, though no public evidence supporting that has been released. Friends and community members offered a $5,000 reward; the Alaska State Troopers continue to list the case as unresolved.

Did anyone who knew Carman or who was in Anchorage that January remember seeing him or his pickup around the airport?
