Kristin Marie Snyder, 35, disappeared on February 6, 2003, after leaving a seminar in Anchorage. She was a self-employed environmental consultant and an experienced outdoorswoman. Friends and her partner, Heidi Clifford, reported Kristin had been acting irrational and depressed in the days before she vanished, and Clifford reported her missing after Kristin failed to return to pick up people she had traveled with.

The next day Kristin’s black 1999 Toyota Tacoma was found at Miller’s Landing, a camping and kayaking area in Seward, about 125 miles from Anchorage. The key sat in the unlocked driver’s door and handwritten notes were inside. A handmade white wood and fiberglass kayak owned by the resort was missing; that kayak had not been used in 15 years, had no rudder, and lacked flotation.

A three-day air and land search of Resurrection Bay found no trace of Kristin or the kayak. Reports say Kristin had been upset at the seminar, claiming she was pregnant and was removed from class. Authorities have leaned toward the conclusion that she entered the bay, but some friends say her reported state would have made driving to Seward, taking the kayak and launching it unlikely.

Does anyone who knew Kristin, saw her in Anchorage or Seward around February 6, 2003, or has information about the kayak or campground shed please come forward?
