Frank Thomas Alstrom III, 14, of Bethel, Alaska, was last seen October 6, 1998. He is American Indian/Alaska Native, about 5 feet 2 inches and 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was known to have been in a skiff that was found adrift and unoccupied that same day; he reportedly was not wearing a life jacket. The Alaska State Troopers opened the investigation, and the Alaska Department of Public Safety classifies the circumstances as related to an environmental event. The case remains open with no recovery reported.

If anyone saw Frank, the skiff, or has information about that day, please come forward.
