John Leland Kelly III, 42, was last seen in Ketchikan on November 3, 1995. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing blue pants, a red jacket, green raincoat, green rain pants and a yellow life vest, and he had tattoos on both arms and forearms plus scars on his neck, abdomen, right leg, head, forehead, right hand and right knee.

Reports indicate Kelly set out to cross the Tongass Narrows in a canoe. His empty canoe was later found at Helm Point, about 20 miles north of Ketchikan, but Kelly himself was never located. The Alaska State Troopers handled the investigation and the official presumption is that he drowned, though no remains were recovered and the case remains open.

Does anyone have information about Kelly’s movements around November 3, 1995, or recall seeing his canoe near Helm Point?
