On February 14, 2019, 43-year-old Tracy Lynn Day, a Tlingit woman, was last seen in Juneau, Alaska. That day, she had visited her mother's home wearing clothes that were not suitable for the cold weather. Her family gave her warmer clothing, and her sister then dropped her off at the corner of Franklin Street and Ferry Way. The last time her sister saw her, she was walking toward two men near a coffee shop. Tracy, who was born on October 19, 1975, has sandy brown hair and blue eyes. At the time she went missing, she was between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed between 135 and 140 pounds. She has a tattoo on her left hand, a scar on her right hand, and another scar on her left forearm. She was known to always carry random bags or backpacks with her. Tracy was dealing with personal challenges at the time of her disappearance. She had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which required medication that she did not have with her when she went missing. She also had a history of substance abuse and was experiencing homelessness. Despite these struggles, her daughter described her as a very friendly, trusting, and generous person who stayed in regular contact with her family. In the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Tracy had told several family members that she believed someone was after her, a statement they attributed to paranoia from her mental health conditions at the time. She was living in an apartment managed by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and on February 20, a staff member contacted her father to report that she had not been seen for a while. Her family officially reported her missing to the Juneau Police Department on March 22, 2019. The investigation into Tracy's disappearance has been ongoing, though her family has expressed frustration with the lack of progress and communication from law enforcement. Police received several tips of possible sightings of Tracy as late as March 2019, but none could be confirmed. Checks with airlines and the Alaska Marine Highway showed no record of her leaving Juneau. About a year after she vanished, some of her clothing and her bus pass were found on the side of a mountain. In June 2025, after six years with no answers, Tracy's daughter successfully petitioned the court to have her declared legally dead in the hopes of prompting the release of more information about the investigation. Despite this, the case remains unsolved, with the Juneau Police Department stating it is still an active investigation, but they have no new leads or suspects. Tracy's disappearance highlights the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Alaska and across the country. Her family continues to search for answers and keep her memory alive.
