On May 8, 1993, 45-year-old Tony Atkerson Myers was last seen in Ketchikan, Alaska. He and a companion, Daniel Schalles, disappeared and are thought to have been involved in a skiff accident near the eastern side of Gravina Island. At the time of his disappearance, Myers was described as a White male, 5'11" tall, and weighing around 152 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He had several distinguishing features, including scars on his chin and near his left eye, as well as tattoos on his left arm, left forearm, and chest. When he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Tony Myers and Daniel Schalles point to a tragic boating accident. It is presumed that the two men drowned after their skiff met with trouble in the waters off Gravina Island. Despite search efforts in the area immediately following their disappearance, neither Myers, Schalles, nor the skiff were ever located. The waters in Southeast Alaska can be perilous, and small vessels are susceptible to the region's often unpredictable weather and water conditions. Without any witnesses to the event, the exact details of what transpired remain unknown. The case of Tony Atkerson Myers is a somber reminder of the dangers that can be present in the Alaskan wilderness. With no new leads or evidence surfacing over the years, his disappearance remains an unresolved case. The lack of recovery of any remains or personal effects has left his family and the community without closure. The Alaska State Troopers investigated the incident, but without any further information, the case has grown cold. The disappearance of Tony Myers and Daniel Schalles is a lingering mystery in the Ketchikan area, a story of two men who went out on the water and never returned.
