Roderick H. Blanket, Jr., 22, disappeared in Bethel, Alaska, in the winter of 1991. He was last seen on December 7 wearing a dark jacket, dark pants, a beaver hat, and glasses. That day he was operating a snow machine and fell into the river; the snow machine was later recovered with the key still in the ignition and the machine left on.

The Alaska State Troopers were notified and opened an investigation (case number 910081193). The snow machine was found but repeated searches in the area did not locate Roderick. The Alaska State Troopers Missing Persons Clearinghouse lists him as missing.

Does anyone who lived in or traveled around Bethel in December 1991 remember hearing about or seeing anything related to this incident?
