Scott Michael Coville, 26, disappeared from Sitka, Alaska in the spring of 1988. He and his wife Jane had moved to Sitka after meeting in California; Scott worked in a factory and as a fisherman while studying marine biology. The last reported contact was around April 13, 1988, and his mother reported him missing in May after she could not reach him.

The case remained cold for years until investigators reopened it in 2007. A recorded phone call in which Jane later identified as her confession led to questioning in Illinois. She admitted shooting Scott with a .357 Magnum while he slept in their Sitka trailer, dismembering his body, placing remains in trash bags, and disposing of them in the city incinerator. Blood in the trailer matched Scott by DNA comparison to his mother and saved wisdom teeth. He has never been found.

If anyone knew Scott in Sitka in 1988 or has information about his last days, please share what you know.
