On May 3, 1992, a twin-engine Cessna 340, tail number N69469, left Yakutat, Alaska, bound for Anchorage with five men aboard, including 37-year-old Kent Joseph Roth. The flight was operating under instrument flight rules and last reported at 12,000 feet and on course to FAA air-traffic controllers. After that transmission the aircraft and all five occupants vanished; no wreckage or remains have ever been found.

A reported hint surfaced when the pilot’s wife said she heard him mention 6,000 and icing conditions on air-traffic tapes several minutes after the last recorded transmission, but an FBI laboratory enhancement could not confirm those words. The NTSB investigated and listed the cause as undetermined. The plane and its occupants are presumed lost in a remote, rugged area of Alaska where mountains, glaciers, and water have swallowed other aircraft without trace.

If anyone has information about the Yakutat–Anchorage flight on May 3, 1992, or remembers anything relevant to this disappearance, please come forward.
