Jeremy Davis, 27, went missing on the evening of July 17, 2022, after setting out by skiff from Igiugig toward Newhalen on Iliamna Lake. He is described as American Indian or Alaska Native and was last seen wearing neon green fishing waders. A concerned resident reported the trip as unusual and warned of an approaching storm; the Alaska State Troopers were notified around 9 p.m. when the skiff had not arrived.

Search efforts were delayed that night by the storm’s strong winds and poor visibility. The next day a local air taxi found the skiff washed ashore, and the other man who had been with Jeremy told troopers that a large wave swept Jeremy overboard while they were far from shore. A multi-agency search followed, involving Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Wildlife Troopers, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center, the Civil Air Patrol, and local community members, who searched shorelines and waters from Newhalen to Kokhanok.

After a week with no sign of Jeremy, the active search was scaled back to a reactive posture; the case remains open and authorities ask anyone with information to come forward. If anyone was on Iliamna Lake that night or remembers seeing a skiff or neon green waders, can you share what you know?
