Allan Francis Hector was 31 when he was last seen on October 16, 1980, in the rugged country southwest of the Sitkalidak Strait on Kodiak Island, Alaska. He was described as five feet nine inches tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. On the day he vanished he wore yellow rubber rain gear — coat, pants and hat — with black rubber boots, and had a gold tooth on his upper right central incisor.

The Alaska State Troopers handled the investigation and ultimately listed him as presumed deceased, but the specific circumstances of his disappearance were never established and no further information has surfaced. His case file is E80-1516; on March 17, 2020 the case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System to widen exposure to potential leads.

If anyone remembers Allan, his movements on Kodiak Island in October 1980, or anything that might help explain what happened, please share what is known.
