Kris P. Bacan was 37 when he was last seen in the remote Ugashik Bay area of Alaska on August 19, 1996. He is described as six feet two inches, about 190 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Witness accounts say he wore blue sweatpants, boots, and possibly a black jacket. His last known location is between Cape Menshikoff and the South Spit near Dillingham.

A report was filed with the Alaska State Troopers on August 20, 1996. No public details explain what he was doing in Ugashik Bay that day or who, if anyone, was with him. The case file lists several name variants, including Kresimir Peter Bacan, which complicates searches through historical records. The area’s isolation, harsh weather, and sparse population have left investigators with little physical evidence and no confirmed sightings since.

Does anyone who knew Kris, or who worked or traveled in the Ugashik Bay area in August 1996, have information to share?
