On December 8, 1991, 29-year-old Lawrence Ahmaogak, Jr., known as Larry, disappeared on Alaska’s North Slope while riding a snow machine with Robert Neakok. Their machine broke through thin sea ice and plunged into the Arctic Ocean; both men vanished and were never located. Lawrence was wearing a black parka with a wolf ruff, brown ski-doo pants, a T-shirt underneath, and tennis shoes at the time.

The North Slope Borough Police Department and the Alaska State Troopers investigated but were unable to find the men. The circumstances point to a sudden, accidental immersion in frigid Arctic waters and no resolution has been reached.

If anyone was in the North Slope area on December 8, 1991, or has information about conditions on the ice that day, please share what is known.
