Rhody Launders, 54, disappeared from a houseboat trip in Alaska after leaving the Kenai River on June 27, 1987. He was traveling with another man and bound for Iliamna Bay. Two days later, on June 29, 1987, the other man’s body washed ashore at Dry Bay on the Iniskin Peninsula, and debris from the houseboat was later found.

Searches of the waters and coastline turned up wreckage but not Launders. The circumstances suggest a maritime accident, yet his body was never recovered and no definitive conclusion can be drawn without that recovery. Few details about the trip’s early hours or what exactly happened after departure are available.

Did anyone in the area at that time see the houseboat, the men, or notice anything unusual along the Iniskin Peninsula shoreline?
