Douglas R. Bangs was 27 when he disappeared from the waters near Soldotna, Alaska, on May 21, 1984. He and two other men were on a halibut trip aboard the boat Minnie Mine, leaving from the mouth of the Kasilof River to check halibut skates about two miles offshore. That departure was the last confirmed sighting of Douglas.

Debris was later found in the area where the Minnie Mine had been operating, and the bodies of the other two men were recovered. Extensive searches failed to locate Douglas, and he has never been found. The Alaska State Troopers continue to list the case as open.

If anyone knew Douglas, the Minnie Mine crew, or was on the water near the Kasilof River on May 21, 1984, please share what you remember.
