Abraham John Sharp was 30 when he was last seen in Bethel, Alaska, on November 23, 1992. Witnesses reported seeing him about 5:30 p.m. traveling upriver on a snow machine at a high rate of speed. Searchers later found snow machine tracks and footprints leading to an area of open water. Near that opening in the ice were two hats, a pair of gloves and a bottle of alcohol that are believed to have belonged to him.

The scene suggests a sudden accident—a plunge through thin ice into icy water—but no body has been recovered and the disappearance remains an open cold case. The lack of a recovered body has left family without closure.

If anyone was in the Bethel area that evening or remembers seeing a snow machine heading upriver on November 23, 1992, please share what you know.
