Demetri Alec Tcheripanoff, Jr., was 36 when he was last seen on July 2, 2019, walking along the beach near a landmark called Three Falls in the remote Akutan area of Aleutians East Borough, Alaska. Witnesses reported he appeared depressed and that he was carrying a handgun when last observed. He was dressed in a black jacket, a sweatshirt, black sweatpants and work boots.

Demetri is American Indian / Alaska Native, with black hair and brown eyes, about five feet six inches tall and around 140 pounds. He has tattoos honoring his children: his daughter Veronika’s baby footprint with her name and birthdate on his right forearm, and the baby footprints of his sons Brandon and William with their names and shared birthdate on his left forearm. The Alaska State Troopers classified him as endangered missing and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in Akutan or who knew Demetri see him around Three Falls that day or have information about his movements before he vanished?
