Bruce Kenneth Forde was 42 when he was last seen on January 15, 1995, serving as a crew member aboard the 126-foot crab boat F/V Northwest Mariner in the Bering Sea off Dillingham, Alaska. The vessel capsized in severe winter conditions; three survivors were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Hamilton, but Forde and three other crewmen — James Foster, Lawrence Johnston, and Robert Olson — vanished into the icy water and were never found.

Forde is described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and green eyes. Extensive search and rescue efforts by the Coast Guard failed to locate the missing men, and the search was eventually suspended, leaving families without the closure of recovered remains.

Are there anyone who worked on that vessel or who remembers the Northwest Mariner’s last trip and can share details that might help fill in what happened that day?
