Matthew Allen Young was 19 when he was last seen in Juneau, Alaska on March 10, 2006. He was described as American Indian/Alaska Native, about 5 feet 10 inches and 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Matthew and his companion Ricky Nebert were aboard the fishing vessel Slayer, which is believed to have gone down near Point Gardner.

An extensive search of the area followed, but neither the men nor the vessel were ever located. The official position is that both men are presumed deceased, lost to the sea. Few other verifiable details about the voyage or the Slayer’s final moments are available.

If anyone knew Matthew, Ricky, the Slayer, or observed activity near Point Gardner on or around March 10, 2006, please share what information could help clarify what happened.
