Edgar Francis Burch was 63 when he vanished from a training flight that left Juneau, Alaska, on December 27, 2000, bound for Young Bay. He was accompanied by 51-year-old Stephen Duane Zeckser; both men and the aircraft disappeared after that flight and were never seen or heard from again.

No wreckage or confirmed sign of the plane has been found, and the Alaska State Troopers maintain an open case file. The circumstances described point to the difficulties of searching and operating in Alaska’s rugged terrain and winter weather, but without the aircraft or other evidence the exact fate of Burch and Zeckser remains unknown.

Does anyone who flew in or out of Juneau around that time, or who has information about flights to Young Bay, have details that could help this case?
