Robert Allen Tootkaylok was 36 when he was last seen in Nome, Alaska, on February 17, 1991. He planned to travel east to Solomon by snowmachine and was reported wearing a jacket and a cap or hat. He is described as American Indian / Alaska Native, black hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches and 179 pounds.

Months passed with no sign of him. On May 21, 1991, his snowmachine was found abandoned in Norton Sound about half a mile west of the Bonanza Creek bridge. The discovery, and the fact that the case was reported the same day, prompted an Alaska State Troopers investigation that remains open.

Very little is publicly known about what happened after the snowmachine was located. Does anyone who lived in Nome or Solomon in February–May 1991 remember seeing Robert or his snowmachine that winter?
