Rodney Michael Herman was 22 when he was last seen in the Sitka, Alaska, area on June 19, 1989. He is described as blond with blue eyes. He vanished along with companion Joseph Detemple after they were last known to be aboard a boat later found ablaze near Midway Rock in Peril Straits at about 3:30 p.m.

The Alaska State Troopers investigated a burning vessel and the disappearance of both men. Despite an extensive search, neither Rodney nor Joseph was ever located, and the case later grew cold. The central unresolved facts are the boat found on fire and the two men missing without trace; no further evidence has been reported.

If anyone knew Rodney’s movements on June 19, 1989, or has information about the burned vessel in Peril Straits, please come forward.
