On August 27, 1998, 38-year-old Emery Omiak went missing after a boating accident in the area of Nome, Alaska. He was on a trip from Wales to Diomede with four other adults and one child — Jason Ozenna, Mevlin Kayouktuk, Gene Ozenna, Mary Milligrock, and 7-year-old Kevin Omiak — and none of the six passengers were ever found.

Emery was described as an American Indian/Alaska Native male, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 135 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and wearing glasses. He had several distinctive scars on both arms, his left eye and left wrist. He was believed to be dressed in layered clothing, including a tan Carhartt jacket, a Levi jean jacket over a black hooded sweater and a t-shirt, and blue or black pants with boots or shoes.

An extensive search followed but produced no survivors or wreckage, and the exact cause of the accident remains unclear. Does anyone have information about that trip or the six people involved that could help bring answers to their families?
