David Borer was 8 when he left home in Willow, Alaska, on April 25, 1989. He told his sister he was going out to play and walked toward a sandbar near the partially frozen Kashwitna River by Mile 82 of the Parks Highway, leaving around 5:00 p.m. Dressed in a red nylon ski jacket, green jeans over a green plaid shirt and Sorel winter boots, he had slightly protruding front teeth and small scars under his right eye and above his left.

When David did not return by 7:00 p.m., his mother notified the Alaska State Troopers. Search dogs followed his scent to the edge of the Parks Highway and then the trail ended, prompting investigators to consider abduction. Divers searched the river without finding signs of a fall through the ice; a bear-attack theory was later floated but his family questioned that line of inquiry. Boy Scouts and others assisted searches that summer; age-progressed photos, dental records and DNA are on file.

The case is classified as a non-family abduction. Does anyone have information about David’s movements around Mile 82 of the Parks Highway on April 25, 1989?
