Philip Guy Balluta, 22, disappeared on April 19, 1992, while traveling by skiff from Kodiak to the village of Ouzinkie. He was accompanied by 33-year-old Emanual Charliaga and 21-year-old Robin Squartsoff; the three were last seen or heard from after departing that day. Balluta was reportedly wearing an orange Mustang rain gear suit.

No wreckage, remains, or survivors were ever reported found, and the Alaska State Troopers record the incident as an environmental event, with authorities presuming the skiff was overcome by the sea. The case has no physical evidence or eyewitness accounts to explain exactly what happened.

Does anyone from Kodiak or Ouzinkie remember the trip or have information about that April 1992 crossing?
