Russell Paul Gulino, 22, was last seen January 27, 1989, aboard the M/V Alaska Packer anchored in Akutan Bay in the Aleutian Islands. He was described as mixed Asian and Caucasian, about five feet ten inches, with brown hair and brown eyes. On the day he disappeared he was reportedly wearing blue pants, a red hooded sweatshirt, and tennis shoes.

The official account states he was reported missing from the vessel and is presumed to have gone overboard and drowned in the frigid waters of the bay. Search efforts by authorities failed to recover any trace of him. The Alaska State Troopers investigated, but with no witnesses or recovered evidence the circumstances of his disappearance remain unresolved.

Did anyone who worked on the Alaska Packer or was in Akutan Bay around January 27, 1989, see anything that could help explain what happened to Russell Gulino?
