Lael Marie Grant, 33, vanished from Sitka, Alaska after being last seen in the early morning hours of October 15, 2012. Surveillance footage shows her buying snacks and soft drinks that morning; her last contact with family was the day before. She had recently endured a breakup and the death of her father, whose funeral was two days before her disappearance, and those who knew her noted she struggled with drug use.

On October 20 her car was found abandoned at the end of Nelson Logging Road, about eight miles outside Sitka. Personal items remained inside, including her ID, favorite headphones, and a receipt from the grocery store. A large, two-week search of the rugged area turned up no sign of her. Travel off the island would have required ID, so investigators considered it unlikely she left Sitka. Her family had her declared legally dead in June 2015; the disappearance was later treated as a potential homicide and the case was reopened for new searches in April 2021, including a two-day grid search with cadaver dogs that found no evidence.

Does anyone who lived in Sitka in October 2012 recall seeing Lael or her car, or have information about Nelson Logging Road that could help the ongoing investigation?
