Michael Alexander Brown, 23, vanished after the F/V Wind Walker capsized near Point Couverden in Haines Borough on December 1, 2024. He was last seen aboard the vessel wearing dark-colored Grunden rubber bibs and possibly a survival suit. Brown is described as having brown hair and brown eyes.

Two other crew members, Emilio Celaya-Talamantez and Alex Ireland, also disappeared when the boat overturned. The Alaska State Troopers led a wide search and rescue operation over the challenging Alaskan coastline and waters, but the three men were not located. The investigation remains focused on the circumstances of the Wind Walker’s capsizing.

Anyone who was in the Point Couverden area on December 1, 2024, or who has information about the F/V Wind Walker or its crew is asked to contact the Alaska State Troopers.
