Norman John Fain, 37, was lost at sea on May 7, 2006, after the 32-foot cod fishing vessel Calico Dog capsized near Priest Rock about 12 miles east of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. A sudden series of powerful waves struck the vessel as it was making its way into Unalaska Bay, throwing both men aboard into the water. The other man reached the overturned hull and was later rescued; Norman did not surface and was never found.

At the time he went missing he was wearing two T-shirts (red and black), a black fleece sweatshirt under a red fleece sweatshirt, blue or black jeans, and Extra Tuff rubber boots. The Alaska State Troopers opened a missing person case and searches were conducted, but no trace of Norman was recovered. The official account documents the disappearance as an accidental loss at sea.

If anyone was fishing or operating near Priest Rock on May 7, 2006, or has information about that day, please share details that might help the family find closure.
