A young man named David Estey, a white 23-year-old male from Ketchikan, Alaska, was found dead on December 30, 2016. His death took place in a residence in Ketchikan. The initial circumstances were unclear, and investigators opened an inquiry to determine precisely how Estey died. At some point during the investigation the conclusion was reached that his death was caused by foul play, and it was classified as a homicide.
Despite the passage of time since Estey's death, there is no
publicly available information confirming that any arrests have been made in connection with his death. No suspects have been named in any official sources. The case remains unresolved in terms of identifying who was responsible for Estey's death.
Law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation include the Ketchikan Police Department and the Alaska State authorities, but published reports do not disclose further details such as motive, weapon, or suspect descriptions. The story of David Estey remains one of many cold cases in Alaska in which a life was lost and justice is still pending.
