Nine-year-old Daniel Lee Wood disappeared in a boating accident on Skilak Lake near the mouth of the Kenai River, Alaska, on July 18, 1974. A white boy with brown hair and brown eyes from Soldotna, he was reportedly wearing a personal flotation device when the incident occurred.

The Alaska State Troopers investigated from the outset. The case remained unresolved for decades and was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on March 17, 2020, indicating ongoing efforts to keep the case active. The lake and surrounding Kenai Peninsula Borough are noted as challenging terrain that complicated searches.

If anyone has information about Daniel, his last known location on Skilak Lake, or the 1974 search efforts, please share what is known.
