Dean Clayton Vroman, 21, has been missing from the Wasilla/Palmer area since the spring of 2022. Reports vary on his last movements: some accounts place him at a party in Palmer on April 29, 2022; a roommate said he walked away from their home around 1 a.m. on May 1; another report says he left after an argument on May 2. His family filed a missing person report with the Alaska State Troopers on May 15, 2022, the same day he had a confirmed sighting at Wonderland Park in Wasilla with several juveniles.

Dean is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, 179 pounds, with brown hair and gray eyes. He has fetal alcohol syndrome and is a dependent adult who may struggle to survive without support. When last seen he reportedly wore a dirty white sweatshirt, blue jeans, tan leather work boots, and a blue beanie; his cellphone was believed turned off after he disappeared.

In September 2022 residents near Horizon Drive and Knit Goose Bay Road reported finding a mud-covered young man who initially gave the name Clayton; Troopers investigated but could not locate or confirm his identity, and family members who checked the area could not verify the sighting.

If anyone in the Palmer or Wasilla communities saw Dean around the reported dates or remembers a young man answering to Clayton in that area, please share what was seen.
