Carlos John Martinez, 33, disappeared from Juneau, Alaska after being last seen on March 23, 1996. He was described as a Caucasian male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 180 pounds, with tattoos on his right shoulder and right arm. When last seen he was believed to be wearing a blue Pelican seafood jacket, orange Helly Hansen rain gear, and either jeans or wool bibs, and to have been wearing size 8.5 Xtra Tuffs boots and carrying fish gloves.

Carlos’s 13-foot Boston Whaler was recovered swamped near the inner part of Kruzof Island. That discovery led investigators and his family to conclude he was likely lost at sea in an accidental drowning, but his body has never been recovered. The Alaska State Troopers in Anchorage are listed as the primary investigating agency, and an official record of the disappearance was created on March 17, 2020. The lack of remains or further evidence has left key questions about that March day unresolved.

Did anyone in the Juneau or Kruzof Island area have contact with Carlos or note a small Boston Whaler in distress that week?
