Moses Maxie was 34 when he vanished from Bethel, Alaska, on September 8, 1975. He is described as an American Indian/Alaska Native male. Maxie was last seen with another man, Alfred Olick, at a local bar called the Wild Goose; both men disappeared after being together there.

The only physical clue reported was Maxie’s boat, found adrift in the upper mouth of the Straight Slough, empty. The Bethel Police Department and Alaska State Troopers investigated, but the case went cold and remains unresolved. The disappearance left family and community without answers and turned into one of Bethel’s enduring unsolved cases.

Anyone who knew Moses, Alfred, where they spent time, or who has information about that September day is asked to come forward.
