White / Caucasian

Male

On a late summer day in 1988, a young man named Shawn Gordon Davis, at the age of 22, was with others on Kalgin Island, a remote location in Alaska's Cook Inlet. On September 19th, the group was in a boat on Packers Creek Lake. An unexpected and tragic event occurred when Shawn fell from the boat into the cold waters of the lake. He was last seen wearing chest waders, a sheepskin and denim Levi's jacket, and a camouflage raincoat. The circumstances surrounding how Shawn came to be in the water are not detailed in publicly available information. It is only known that he fell from the boat. The immediate aftermath and any search and rescue efforts that may have taken place are also not extensively documented in the available resources. The focus of the information is on the fact that this was the last time he was ever seen. The Alaska State Troopers were the investigating agency for his disappearance. Years turned into decades with no sign of Shawn and no new information to bring closure to his loved ones. His case is a quiet and somber reminder of the unforgiving nature of the Alaskan wilderness and the suddenness with which a life can disappear. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unfortunate accident in a remote location, which has left a family with unanswered questions and a lingering sense of loss for over three decades.
