Tracy Lee Hill was 26 when he was last known alive on February 27, 1990. He is recorded as a White male from Glennallen, Alaska, about 5 feet 9 inches and 165 pounds, with blond or strawberry-colored hair, blue eyes, and a scar on his right knee. Hill was aboard the 60-foot steel trawler J. Aus with skipper Mick or Mickey Aus and Dave or David Strom on a voyage from Blaine, Washington, toward King Cove when the vessel encountered extreme winter weather in the Gulf of Alaska.

Reports describe winds near 60 knots and seas up to about 27 feet. Searchers recovered only a life raft, an EPIRB, and one survival suit roughly 70 miles southeast of Cordova near Cape Suckling; none of the three crew members were found. Aus is unclear.

If anyone had contact with Tracy or the J. Aus around late February 1990, or saw debris or survival equipment in that area, does that information still exist?
