Adam Henry Pipien, a 42-year-old Black taxi driver, was found shot and slumped over the wheel of his cab at the gate blocking the Upper Huffman entrance to Chugach State Park on Anchorage’s hillside on May 14, 1993. The vehicle was left askew on the quiet approach road where cars often idle before the park gate; the scene and investigators’ accounts pointed to a robbery that turned deadly. His death was reported as one of a small cluster of taxi-driver homicides that alarmed Anchorage that summer.

If anyone knew Adam Pipien, his routines, or saw anything near the Upper Huffman gate before dawn on May 14, 1993, the community’s recollections could still matter.?
