Johnny Jack, a 73-year-old white man from Juneau, Alaska, disappeared from his familiar downtown circuit after being seen at the Viking Restaurant and the bank on Friday afternoon, October 14, 1988. He was found dead inside his apartment at the Mountainview Senior Center on Monday morning, October 17, with investigators determining the killing occurred sometime between those dates, around 10 a.m. The scene showed he had been beaten and stabbed.

Because Jack was partially paralyzed from a prior stroke and lived alone, detectives early on believed whoever came to his door knew him, his routine, and possibly that he kept a small amount of cash in the apartment. Investigators thought more than one person was likely involved and said the pair left little physical evidence. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced, and the case remained unsolved.

Did anyone in Juneau at the time remember seeing Johnny Jack that weekend or know of someone who might have been on his route?
