Arnold Nigaaluk Kayutak, 57, was last seen at his Wainwright, Alaska home on June 12, 1989. He disappeared under unclear circumstances and did not return. At the time he went missing he was described as 6 feet tall, about 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks included a missing left finger and a scar on his right knee.

When Arnold could not be located his new .243 rifle was gone from the residence, and it’s believed he may have been carrying a hunting knife. He was reportedly wearing a dark blue hunting parka with a light blue lining and a wolverine ruff, black pants and brown rubber knee boots.

If anyone in Wainwright or the North Slope Borough has memories of Arnold, saw him around June 12, 1989, or has information about his rifle or movements that season, please come forward.
