Carrie Blanche Williams, 33, was last seen October 18, 1991, while traveling with two others near Noorvik, Alaska. The group was crossing the Nazuruk Channel of the Kobuk River about one mile upriver from Noorvik when the ice gave way and they fell into the frigid water. The two companions’ bodies were recovered; Carrie was never found despite extensive searches.

At the time she disappeared she was described as 5 feet 4 inches, 151 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo on her right hand. She was wearing Carhartt coveralls and white boots. The Alaska State Troopers continue to list the investigation as open, and her fate remains unknown.

If anyone in Noorvik or who traveled the Kobuk River in October 1991 remembers seeing Carrie or has information about that crossing, please share what you know.
