Benjamin Lopez Jr. was 27 when he left Stockton, California, in late spring 1991 for a planned mountain-climbing trip to Alaska. He last spoke with family on June 2, 1991, saying he would be home in about three weeks. He bought a ticket to Anchorage and his vehicle was later found in Bellingham, Washington, the stated departure point for his flight.

His disappearance was reported to the Anchorage Police Department on July 22, 1991. At the time he went missing he was 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with brown, receding hair, brown eyes and a noticeable scar on his head. He was also battling brain cancer, a medical factor that would have affected his trip.

Did anyone in the forum know Benjamin or have information about his planned route in Alaska?
