Nathan Issiac Campbell, 40, was flown into a remote area of Denali National Park near Carey Lake on May 27, 2020, for an extended solo stay and was scheduled to be picked up on September 15. He is described as a Caucasian male with blondish-red hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches, about 190 pounds. He carried fishing gear, a large backpack, a substantial amount of food, and some reports say he had a satellite communication and GPS tracking device.

When his scheduled pick-up passed with no contact, a search located his abandoned campsite and, a few miles away, a collapsed tent containing a rodent-damaged diary. The diary’s final entry said he was leaving to find water. No other signs of him have been found in the extremely remote, densely thicketed terrain.

The case is unresolved and believed to involve him becoming lost, injured, or otherwise unable to return from the wilderness.
