Erwin Lee Roy Curell was 64 when he was last seen in Ketchikan, southeastern Alaska, on November 19, 1991. He was reportedly wearing a yellow rain jacket, a camouflage or brown float coat, and black rubber boots. His nicknames have been recorded as Erwin Cruell and Erwin Lee Roy Currell.

Circumstances around his disappearance point toward a possible inflatable boat accident between Pennock Island and Ketchikan and the prevailing theory is drowning. No remains were ever recovered, however, and the lack of a definitive recovery means the explanation cannot be confirmed. The Alaska State Troopers in Anchorage hold the case file for any new information.

If anyone saw Erwin that day or has information about an incident on the water between Pennock Island and Ketchikan in November 1991, please share what is known.
