Myron C. Alberding, 29, vanished while fishing on Seventh Lake in Inlet, New York, on a summer day in July 1973. He disappeared from sight and, despite clear water and more than two weeks of searches including underwater dives by the New York State Police, no clothing, personal effects, or remains were recovered.

The investigation concluded he was presumed drowned in a boating accident, but no physical evidence was ever found. Alberding was a 1966 Cornell graduate who had studied dairy husbandry and intended to work on the family farm. The case remains open and unresolved.

Did anyone in the Adirondack boating community in 1973 ever hear about that collision or see Myron’s boat that day?.
