On May 30, 1992, 31-year-old Daniel Richard Orbik went missing during a canoeing trip in Kachemak Bay near Homer, Alaska. He was last seen with two companions, Robert Gershbein and Melvin Mestre. At the time he was last seen Daniel was described as a Caucasian male with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing blue jeans and a red Chico State University sweatshirt.

Extensive search and rescue efforts by authorities and volunteers failed to find the three men or their canoe. No physical trace of Daniel, Robert, Melvin, or the canoe was ever recovered. Investigators consider drowning in a canoeing accident the most probable explanation given the bay’s cold waters and strong currents, but no definitive evidence exists and the precise circumstances remain unknown.

Does anyone who was on or near Kachemak Bay that day, or who knew any of the men, have information that could help clarify what happened?
