Christopher Musseau was a 31-year-old fisherman who fell overboard from the fishing vessel Frances Lee on April 24, 1989, in the frigid waters near Saint Matthew Island, Alaska. A crewmember jumped into the water in an immediate attempt to rescue him but was unable to hold on in the numbing cold and powerful currents.

The Alaska State Troopers were notified and opened a missing person case. An extensive search was likely conducted, but no trace of Christopher was recovered and his body has never been found. The case remains an open missing person investigation and a lasting loss for his family and crewmates.

If anyone worked on the Frances Lee or was in that fishing community in April 1989 and remembers details about the incident or the vessel’s crew, please share what is known.
