Patricia Ann Hester, 61, was found dead on December 9, 2021, in the remote coastal area of Clam Gulch, Alaska. From the moment her body was recovered investigators treated the death as a homicide and the Alaska State Troopers and Alaska Bureau of Investigation opened a formal inquiry.

Troopers canvassed the area and interviewed local residents and investigators collected forensic evidence from the scene in an effort to determine the cause and identify anyone responsible. Despite those efforts the case remains unresolved: no arrests have been announced, no suspect has been publicly identified, and no charges have been filed.

Patricia Hester’s killing remains unsolved. If anyone has information about her movements in the Clam Gulch area before December 9, 2021, or noticed anything unusual that day, please share what is known with investigators.
