Ronald Paul Barr, 19, disappeared from the Noorvik area of Alaska after going out to hunt birds on May 12, 2019. He was riding a blue Polaris 340 snowmachine and was reportedly wearing a blue jacket when last seen; no one heard from him after that outing. The Alaska State Troopers were notified on May 16, 2019, and an official investigation and searches were conducted but turned up no trace of Ronald or his snowmachine.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety lists the circumstances of his disappearance as Environment, indicating exposure to the elements may be involved, but no physical evidence has been recovered and that possibility remains unproven. Another person, Alfred Coffin, also went missing from the same area; any connection between the two disappearances has not been established. If anyone knew Ronald’s movements that day or saw his snowmachine, please come forward with information.
