James F. Connell, 31, was last seen on July 5, 1986, in the Glennallen area of Alaska. He had been on a rafting trip on the Tiekel River and never returned. Connell is described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; he wore glasses or contacts and was last seen wearing a blue and black flannel shirt, a black t-shirt, brown pants, and brown hiking boots.

The Alaska State Troopers handled the investigation and Connell’s case is listed in national missing persons databases. Search and investigative details are not publicly outlined.

If anyone had contact with James before July 5, 1986, or was in the Glennallen or Tiekel River area that day, did you see or hear anything that might help explain what happened?
