Nathan Evan, 29, left Russian Mission, Alaska, on a solo snow machine trip to Marshall in the early hours of March 2001 and never arrived. The last contact was on March 13, 2001, from the Bethel area. He is described as an American Indian/Alaska Native male, 5 feet 11 inches, about 185 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and tattoos on his left finger and on his upper and lower left arm. He was reportedly wearing a black Carhartt jacket, black snow pants and white VB boots.

Searchers followed his snow machine tracks to an open lead in the Yukon River about 20 miles downriver from Russian Mission. At that location his snow machine, a rifle and a shotgun were recovered from the icy water, but Nathan was not found. The Alaska State Troopers continue to list the case as active; the discovery at the river suggests a fatal accident in hazardous conditions, though his body has not been recovered.

Did anyone in the community travel that river route in March 2001 or see anyone matching Nathan’s description that day?
