Olsen

33

White / Caucasian

Male

In the late summer of 1987, a then 33-year-old man named Male Lamont Olsen was in Dillingham, Alaska. On September 11th, he was boating, and this would be the last time he was ever seen. He was not alone on the water that day; he was with Adrien Olsen. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance point to a tragic accident at sea. They were traveling from Protection Point and intended to navigate around Cape Constantine. It is on this journey that they both vanished. The official theory is that Lamont and Adrien both drowned in a boating accident. Lamont was wearing an olive green float jacket. He is described as a white male with blond or strawberry blond hair and green eyes. At the time he went missing, he was six feet tall and weighed approximately 175 pounds. He was also known by the nicknames Monte, Monty, or Lamont Ross Olson. The investigation into their disappearance was handled by the Alaska State Troopers. Another individual, Cory Suchman, is also presumed to have drowned in the same area on the same day. The case of Lamont Olsen is one of several unsolved missing persons cases in Alaska. The vast and often treacherous landscape of the state can make searches difficult and, in cases like this where a drowning is presumed, the chances of recovery are significantly lessened. Decades have passed since Lamont and Adrien were last seen, and their disappearance serves as a somber reminder of the unforgiving nature of the Alaskan waters. The available information points to a heartbreaking accident that claimed the lives of those aboard the vessel that day, leaving behind questions that may never be fully answered.
