Joseph Martin Brooks was 17 when he disappeared near Delta Junction, Alaska, in the summer of 1993. On July 28, 1993 he was last seen at the Tanana River bridge at mile 275.5 of the Richardson Highway. He is described as a Caucasian male, brown hair, blue eyes, about five feet eleven inches and 150 pounds, known to friends and family as Joe.

Reports state he slipped and fell into the Tanana River. At the time he was reportedly wearing green shorts, a red flannel shirt over a T-shirt of unknown color, and a baseball cap that was later recovered; his shoes and the rest of his clothing were never found. The Alaska State Troopers opened an investigation and searches were conducted, but the river and surrounding wilderness complicated recovery efforts. The official account is that he accidentally fell into the river; the case remains open.

If anyone knew Joseph, saw him that day, or has information about his disappearance, please share what you know.
