Fred Philip Akelkok was 41 when he was last seen in Dillingham, Alaska, on February 17, 1995. He is described as American Indian / Alaska Native, 5 feet 9 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen he wore a gray coat, black snowpants, and boots.

Akelkok’s snow machine was found abandoned on the bank of the Nushagak River near Snag Point, which prompted searches focused on the river and surrounding area. Dillingham Police Department and the Alaska State Troopers carried out extensive searches in the days and weeks after his disappearance, but no trace of him was found and the case went cold.

If anyone in the Dillingham area in February 1995 remembers seeing Fred, his snow machine, or anything near Snag Point that could help, please come forward with information.
