On July 23, 1995, 39-year-old Daniel Francis Arleth left Auke Bay boat harbor near Juneau, Alaska, for a fishing trip with three others. The vessel did not return and a search followed. Two of the four people aboard were later found deceased, but Daniel Arleth and 7-year-old passenger Shamalee Taylor were never recovered.

Daniel is described as White/Caucasian, brown hair, hazel eyes, 5 feet 11 inches, about 185 pounds. The Alaska State Troopers’ report dated July 24, 1995, records the beginning of the investigation but the circumstances that led to the boat’s disappearance and the fate of the two who were not recovered remain unclear.

Does anyone have memories of the Auke Bay area on July 23, 1995, or information about the boat or the trip that could help shed light on what happened?
