On the late evening of September 9, 2005, three teenagers — 16-year-old Daylon Tall and two 15-year-olds, Joseph Tomaganuk and Clara Wilson — were in a canoe near the mouth of a slough outside Hooper Bay, Alaska, when a strong current and gale-force winds pushed them into the surf of the Bering Sea. Witnesses said a wave hit the canoe, turned it sideways, and a second wave capsized it, throwing the teens into turbulent water; none of the three were wearing life jackets. A fourth teenager who had been with them reportedly jumped out of the canoe just before it was swept away.

Clara Wilson’s body was recovered early the next morning; despite search-and-rescue efforts by Hooper Bay police, local crews and organized beach searches, Daylon Tall and Joseph Tomaganuk were not found. The community brought in grief counselors and the event remains a painful memory for residents.

Does anyone have information about where Daylon and Joseph were last seen that could help clarify what happened that night?
