Douglas Jared Foster disappeared from downtown Anchorage after celebrating his 21st birthday. He was last seen on foot after being dropped off by friends near 12th Avenue and C Street in the early hours of November 9, 2002. At that time he was between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, about 150 pounds, Native American, with brown eyes and black hair that had red highlights; he was reportedly wearing a tan baseball cap and a brown suede jacket.

Born in Bethel on November 7, 1981, Foster grew up in several Alaska communities and graduated from SAVE High School in 2001. He worked as a pasta sous chef at Sea Galley, played bass in a rock band, and was described by coworkers and family as kind and quiet. The Anchorage Police Department opened an investigation, but few details have been released and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone was in the 12th Avenue and C Street area on the night of November 9, 2002, or has information about Douglas’s movements after he was dropped off, please come forward.
