Donald Adams, a Native American man, was last seen in Nome, Alaska, on October 16, 1976. Beyond that date and location, there are virtually no public details about his disappearance: his age at the time, physical description, and the circumstances of his last sighting are not known.

His case is one of roughly two dozen disappearances and unexplained deaths that affected Nome and surrounding areas from the 1960s into the early 2000s, disproportionately involving Alaska Native people. Investigations into these cases, including Adams’s, produced few concrete leads, and his file went cold with his fate unresolved.

If anyone knew Donald Adams, lived in Nome in 1976, or has information about disappearances from that era, the community wants to hear from you.
