David Rodriguez Perez, 68, was last contacted by phone on March 9, 2021. His out-of-state family could not reach him after that call, and a welfare check by Anchorage Police found signs suggesting he hadn’t been home for several days.

On March 18, 2021, his blue 1996 Chevrolet pickup was found abandoned on the Kenai Spur Extension near Captain Cook State Park, far from his Anchorage residence. Search dogs and law enforcement conducted extensive searches of the surrounding wilderness but found no sign of Perez. The difficult terrain constrained the search and it was eventually suspended.

Perez is described as a Hispanic male, brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 159 pounds. His case remains open; investigators say the circumstances of his last known activities and the truck’s location produced few leads. If anyone has information about his movements or saw that pickup in March 2021, please come forward.
