Carl W. Nicolai was 29 when he was last seen on October 15, 1986, on the Qweek River near Kwethluk in the Bethel, Alaska, area. An American Indian/Alaska Native male, he was wearing an Alaska National Guard camouflage uniform and black combat boots when he disappeared. He is described as five feet seven inches tall, about 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a scar on one of his left fingers.

Authorities have presumed he drowned, but no body has been recovered and the case remains an open missing person investigation handled by the Alaska State Troopers. His file was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on March 17, 2020, to centralize the details for law enforcement and the public.

Does anyone from Bethel, Kwethluk or the surrounding river communities remember seeing Carl or have information about his activities in October 1986?
