Scott Morgan Nyland, 26, was working aboard the fishing vessel Sunset Bay on November 1, 1999, when he went overboard about 280 miles southeast of Kodiak in the Gulf of Alaska. He was not wearing a survival suit or personal flotation device and was last seen in street clothes. The crew began an immediate search and a larger multiagency effort followed, but despite extensive searches Scott was never located.

The Alaska State Troopers investigated and the official account attributes the incident to an accidental overboard fall. Scott was described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. No trace has been found and the case remains open.

Did anyone who worked on the Sunset Bay or crew on nearby vessels in 1999 have information about Scott’s movements that night?
