Belinda Jessica Margaret Smith was 14 when she disappeared in the winter of 2000 after leaving Golovin, Alaska, on December 27. She and a 15-year-old boy, Garrett Saccheus, set out on separate snow machines bound for the village of Elim. Belinda was described as four feet tall and about 45 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, an orange coat, black snow pants, white bunny boots, glasses, a yellow full-face helmet with dark graphics, a dark-colored backpack, and a medium-sized black bag holding unwrapped Christmas presents.

Tracks from two snow machines were found leading from Golovin onto the sea ice and ending at an area of open water, which led to extensive searches by the Alaska State Troopers and local community members. Despite those searches, neither Belinda nor Garrett has ever been found and their ultimate whereabouts remain unknown.

Did anyone in the community travel between Golovin and Elim that day and see the snow machines or tracks on the ice?
