Leon Charles Nelson was 21 and living in the Juneau area in the autumn of 1984 when he was involved in a boating accident on October 18 in Kootsnahoo Inlet, near Angoon. He was on a boat in the inlet when the mishap occurred and was not seen again after the incident. Despite searches, Leon was never located and his body was not recovered. He is presumed deceased as a result of the accident.

Only limited details about the circumstances of the boating mishap are available; the waters of the inlet were never able to yield a recovery. Does anyone who lived or worked around Angoon in 1984 remember the incident or have information about Leon’s last movements?
