On a September evening in 2013, 24-year-old Stanton Shelton was traveling on the Yukon River in an 18-foot Lund skiff with three other men, returning from Emmonak toward their home village. About 10 miles downriver from Alakanuk the boat began taking on water and eventually sank at night, throwing the four into the river.

One occupant, 21-year-old John Chikigak, survived after shedding most of his clothing and swimming to shore; searchers found him around noon the following day. The bodies of Daniel Noble, 29, and Cyril Murphy, 50, were later recovered. Stanton Shelton was never located and is presumed to have perished in the river. He was last seen wearing a green and black sweater and Carhartt overalls.

Does anyone have information about Stanton’s movements that night or about clothing and personal items recovered that could help explain what happened?
