Jerome Trigg, also known as Jerome Trigg Sr., was 73 when he vanished from Nome, Alaska, on February 20, 1988. A respected American Indian / Alaska Native man, he was last seen wearing a white parka and green snow pants. Reports say he was operating a snow machine that broke through the sea ice; despite search efforts he was never located and the Alaska State Troopers in Nome maintain an open case.

Accounts describe the circumstances as pointing to a tragic accident on dangerous sea ice. Exact details remain vague and the full story of that day has not been resolved, leaving family and the community without closure. If anyone knew Jerome, his movements that day, or has information about conditions on the ice near Nome on February 20, 1988, please come forward.
