Robert Dalton Driskill, Jr. was 34 when he vanished from Nome, Alaska, after a boating trip on August 29, 1989. He was last seen on the water and never returned; no witnesses to what happened that day and no remains have been recovered.

Described as a White male, 5 feet 8 inches and about 150 pounds, he had brown hair and brown eyes and several distinctive tattoos, including a bulldog on one arm and a map of Korea on another. He was reportedly wearing a blue, black, and white plaid shirt, jeans, a green baseball cap, and old army boots.

Nome’s remote location and harsh environment have complicated searches, and his disappearance is one of roughly two dozen unresolved missing-person cases in the area from the 1960s through the early 2000s. Very little is known about what went wrong on that boating trip; the case remains open and cold.

If anyone was on or near the water off Nome on August 29, 1989, or has information about Robert’s boating companions or that day, please come forward.
