Wallace Dunn, known as Wally, was 81 when he was last seen in Anchorage on July 11, 2013, planning a routine weekend at his Big Lake cabin. He split his time between Texas in winter and Alaska in summer and was described as active and in good health for his age, though reportedly showing early signs of Alzheimer’s. His daughter reported him missing on July 16 after he failed to make customary contact.

Dunn is a Caucasian male, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, 150–165 pounds, with white hair, a medium-length beard and mustache, and blue eyes. He had a distinctive shuffling walk and might have had red sores on the top of his head. His 1998 gray Ford F-150 was found locked and abandoned at the end of West Susitna Parkway several miles from his cabin; witnesses saw it there by the afternoon of July 12. The truck contained his shotgun, a container of spoiled food, and the bed held a chainsaw and generator.

Searches turned up no trace of Dunn. A possible sighting on July 13 near Montana Creek Campground reported a man matching his description saying he wanted to walk or hitchhike to Denali National Park, but that lead did not locate him. The circumstances of his last movements and why his truck was left where it was remain unexplained.

If anyone saw Wallace Dunn in mid-July 2013 or knows anything about his movements around Big Lake and the Susitna Parkway, please share information.
