William Spencer Arnold, II was 74 and a North Pole, Alaska resident when he was last seen on October 10, 2020. He had been on the Tanana River; later that day his boat was found capsized and submerged, but he was not with it. He was reportedly wearing a camouflage jacket, blue jeans, camo hunting boots, and a hat.

Alaska State Troopers were notified about 11:10 a.m. and carried out extensive searches of the river and surrounding area, but searchers did not locate him. The initial operations concluded without finding Arnold, and the case moved into a long-term missing person investigation. In February 2021 he was legally declared deceased, though his remains have not been recovered and he remains classified as lost/injured missing.

Are there readers who were on the Tanana River that day or who have any information about Mr. Arnold’s movements prior to October 10, 2020?
