Gilbert Mully Ronald Kilbuck was 37 when he fell from his boat into the Goodnews Bay channel on July 4, 2011. A familiar member of the small coastal village of Goodnews Bay, Alaska, he was last seen wearing a green rubberized raincoat and pants, brown rubber boots, and a red Evinrude baseball hat, and he was not wearing a personal flotation device.

The Alaska State Troopers and the Goodnews Bay community mounted an immediate, extensive search of the channel and nearby areas. Despite days of searching, Gilbert was not found and the case remains open. The account describes a sudden accident while fishing, and the community continues to feel the loss.

If anyone who lived in or visited Goodnews Bay around July 2011 has information about Gilbert or that day on the water, please come forward.
