Daniel Smith, 36, was last seen on June 28, 1986, when the boat he was in capsized near the Tank Farm at Platinum, Alaska, a short distance from the shore where the Standard Oil facility stood. He was reported wearing a red coat, blue denim jeans, and brown boots. Daniel was an American Indian/Alaska Native male with black hair and brown eyes, also known as Danny or Dan Smith.

The Alaska State Troopers in Anchorage handled the response and subsequent investigation. The capsizing is the only documented event tied to his disappearance; no additional sightings or evidence have surfaced and no resolution has been reached. The case remains officially open and unsolved.

Does anyone have information about that June 28, 1986 boating incident near Platinum or recall seeing Daniel around Bethel before he disappeared?
