William Edward Jackson, known as Bill or Billy, was 38 and in Ketchikan, Alaska in the summer of 1989. On June 22, 1989, he was aboard an anchored fishing vessel near Cape Fox Island and is believed to have fallen overboard; he was presumed to have drowned. The last known photo of him was taken in May 1989.

He was a White male, about 5 feet 11 inches and 170 pounds, with red or auburn hair, brown eyes, a one-inch scar in the middle of his forehead, a scar on his left finger, and recently stitched fingers at the time he vanished. He may have been wearing a jogging suit (possibly blue, gray, or black), a t-shirt of unknown color, and glasses.

The Alaska State Troopers in Anchorage are listed as the primary investigating agency, and the official report was recorded on March 17, 2020. With no recovery or further evidence, the disappearance remains unresolved. Did anyone in the Ketchikan area in June 1989 see William or have information about the anchored vessel near Cape Fox Island?
