Debbie Sue Nictune, a 59-year-old Alaska Native woman, went missing from her apartment in the Northward Building in Fairbanks in late summer 2020. Reports list her last contact as August 18, August 19, or August 20. She is 5 feet tall, about 180 pounds, with black hair and dark eyes, and was last seen wearing a black jacket, a green shirt, and loose-fitting jeans. She was described as being in a fragile emotional state when last seen.

Her disappearance prompted local Native organizations and community volunteers to organize searches, rallies, and a reward fund effort, and the Fairbanks Police Department is handling the official investigation. Few public details have been released, and her brother Roy Nictune has spoken about how the uncertainty has weighed on the family. If anyone has information about Debbie’s whereabouts or remembers seeing her in Fairbanks in mid to late August 2020, please share what you know.
