Augustine John Akitalinok was 22 when he was last seen leaving his sister’s apartment in midtown Anchorage on March 17, 1990. He is described as a Native American male, 5 feet 6 inches, about 145 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a slight mustache and a scar on his forehead. He wore eyeglasses with black or brown frames and was last seen in a gray jacket and blue jeans. Those who knew him said his speech was very soft and often mumbled.

The last contact with Augustine came in early April 1990, but details of that contact are scarce. He required medication and did not have it with him when he disappeared. The Anchorage Police Department opened an investigation, which later grew cold; the case remains an open missing person file among many unsolved cases in the city from the 1980s and 1990s. If anyone knew Augustine, where he spent time, or has information about his whereabouts after March 1990, please come forward.
