Ricky Nebert was 42 when he and a younger crewmate, Matthew Young, left Juneau, Alaska on March 10, 2006 aboard a 32-foot fishing vessel named the Slayer. The boat failed to return and was reported missing near Point Gardner, a remote area with notoriously dangerous waters. An extensive search was conducted but did not locate the men, the vessel, or definitive wreckage.

Both men are now presumed dead and the official search has long since ended. The disappearance is recorded in Alaska’s missing-person files and remains a stark example of the risks faced by commercial fishermen in that region. Few concrete details about the Slayer’s final hours are available.

Did anyone in the Juneau fishing community have contact with Ricky or Matthew before March 10, 2006, or remember sightings of the Slayer that day?
