Kenneth Thor Osbakken, known as Ken, was 23 when he disappeared after a skiff capsized in Aleutkina Bay near the Eastern Channel, about a mile south of Sitka, in the Alaskan summer of 1986. On June 25 he was one of three people on the small boat; after the capsize one occupant reached a rock off Boidarkin Island and was rescued by a passing vessel. Kenneth and 20-year-old Timothy Moffitt were not seen again.

Kenneth was described as 6 feet 4 inches, about 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was reportedly wearing Levis, a wool shirt, and a green jacket, and had a Walkman with him. The Alaska State Troopers investigated but no explanation for why the skiff capsized has been provided, and searches at the time did not locate the two missing men.

Does anyone who knew Kenneth or Timothy, or who was on the water near Sitka that day, have information that could help clarify what happened?
