Brian Lee Bugg, 25, was last seen on April 3, 1992, while working as a crewmember aboard the 157-foot crab boat Gulf Wind in the Bering Sea northwest of Amak Island. A Dillingham, Alaska resident, he is described as a White male, 6 feet tall, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. On the day he disappeared he was wearing orange rain pants with black suspenders, a gray hooded sweatshirt, rubber boots, rubber gloves, and an orange hard hat.

Reports state Brian became entangled in a crab pot or its line and was pulled overboard into the frigid Bering Sea. The incident occurred in notoriously hazardous waters and is described as an accident. The Alaska State Troopers hold the case under file number 920022070, and his information is logged in NamUs as MP67281; the case remains an active missing persons file.

Few additional details are provided about the crew response or search efforts. Does anyone who worked on the Gulf Wind or fished in that area in 1992 have memories or information about that day?
