Matthew Peter Schroeder was 38 when he was last seen in Unalaska, Alaska, on September 19, 2003. He was aboard the fishing tug Bering Prowler, asleep in his bunk when he was last observed; after that there has been no contact. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, 6 feet 2 inches and about 220 pounds, with scars on his upper lip and nose.

A missing person report was filed with the Unalaska Department of Public Safety on October 3, 2003, and the case is in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System; the Alaska State Troopers also have an open file. The circumstances of his disappearance from the vessel are unclear and details such as what he was wearing when last seen have not been provided.

Does anyone who worked on or around the Bering Prowler in September 2003 have information that could help clarify what happened to Matthew?
