Robert Arthur Younger, 36, vanished from the fishing vessel F/V Cape Alava on September 4, 1995, while the boat was near Knight Island in the vicinity of Yakutat, Alaska. According to the lone other crewman on board, he went to sleep and later awoke to find Younger missing. Younger was last seen wearing grey sweat pants, a t-shirt, and socks.

Search and rescue teams conducted immediate and extensive searches around Knight Island and Prince William Sound but found no trace of him. The Alaska State Troopers led the official investigation; with no witnesses or physical evidence recovered, investigators have not been able to determine what happened. There is no evidence of foul play reported, and the incident is recorded as a man overboard, with accidental fall into the water regarded as the prevailing theory.

Does anyone have information about Younger, the Cape Alava, or that stretch of the Yakutat coastline that could help fill in the unanswered details?
