Shanelle Mary Shellikoff, 15, vanished from a False Pass cannery dock in the early morning hours of July 25, 2007, while visiting relatives from Anchorage. She was last seen around 3 a.m. with her 14-year-old cousin; the two had reportedly snuck out to drink a hidden bottle of alcohol. According to the Alaska State Troopers, Shanelle leaned over the dock edge to look at the water and accidentally fell into the Isanotski Strait. The tide was going out and currents in that area are strong.

Her cousin sought help but became ill and lost consciousness for several hours; by the time family were alerted, significant time had passed. Extensive searches were conducted without locating Shanelle. Authorities stated no foul play was suspected and concluded the disappearance was a tragic accident; she is presumed lost at sea. Shanelle was an honor student at East High School and a member of the National Honor Society, remembered by family for her kind, gentle nature.

Did anyone in False Pass or Anchorage have information about Shanelle that could add detail to what happened that night?
