On September 17, 1978, a chartered twin-engine Cessna 411 carrying 52-year-old Marion O. Parker, pilot James Madsen Jr., and Nekita Katelnikoff departed King Salmon, Alaska, bound for Kodiak and never arrived. The aircraft is believed to have gone down in the Shelikof Strait, the turbulent channel between Kodiak Island and the mainland. Parker was described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches and 154 pounds.

A search and rescue operation scoured the Shelikof Strait and surrounding areas for days but found no wreckage, pilot, or passengers. With no debris or other physical evidence recovered, investigators were unable to determine a probable cause and the official search was eventually suspended, leaving families without answers.

Does anyone have information about the flight, the passengers, or sightings in the Shelikof Strait around September 17, 1978?
