Robert George Lane, Jr., 35, of Palmer, Alaska, disappeared from the fishing vessel Hunter on August 27, 2004, while the boat was operating between King Cove and Sand Point. He is described as an American Indian / Alaska Native male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 185 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a birthmark on his throat and a scar on a finger. When last seen he was reportedly wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, a sweater, and Carhartt jeans.

Specific details about how he went missing from the vessel are scarce. The Alaska State Troopers in Anchorage took charge of the investigation, but there are no public details about witnesses, physical evidence, or a clear explanation for his disappearance. The case remains open and unresolved, leaving his family without answers.

If anyone was aboard the Hunter that day or has information about Lane’s last known movements at sea, please share what is known with investigators.
