Edmond M. Vickaryous, who often went by Michael, was 32 when he disappeared from Anchorage, Alaska. He was last seen at the Fancy Moose on September 16, 1973; his official missing report was filed September 18, 1973. His vehicle was later found abandoned in the Fancy Moose parking lot.

Vickaryous was described as a White male, 5 feet 9 inches, 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. A notable physical detail is that his right index finger was amputated to the first knuckle. He was believed to be wearing a light gray sweater and blue jeans when last seen and reportedly had several thousand dollars in cash on his person.

The Anchorage Police Department and the Alaska State Troopers handled the investigation; the files are listed as APD 73-33759 and AST AK23009828. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone has memories of that night at the Fancy Moose or other information about Edmond’s movements in September 1973, please come forward.
