Mark Thomas Newman, 46, was last seen in Petersburg, Alaska, on February 3, 2008. Friends and family reported him missing in the early days of that month, and the Petersburg Police Department opened a missing person investigation. The circumstances of his disappearance are sparse: no clear indication of where he might have gone, no note, and no immediate signs of foul play are reported.

Investigators from the Petersburg Police Department and later the Alaska State Troopers handled the case, but the trail quickly went cold. Newman was described as having established roots in the community, which made his sudden absence especially troubling to those who knew him.

If anyone knew Mark’s routines, where he worked or spent time in Petersburg, or has any information that could help explain his disappearance, please share what you know.
