John Melvin Wipert

According to NamUS, Alaska currently  has 166 open missing person cases. Here's one of the cases:

John Melvin Wipert was 60 years old when he disappeared on 6/15/09 along with 2 horses from the Ptarmigan Lodge located in Northway, Alaska. The lodge is about 8 kilometers from the U.S.-Canadian border near Beaver Creek, Yukon. The lodge owners notified authorities and a search of the area was conducted by foot and by air. A 2 week aerial search by the Alaska State Troopers yielded no answers or clues to the whereabouts of John or the horses. Lodge guides described the terrain as difficult to travel with few trails and many boggy areas, making it easy to get lost.

John is 5'8", 190lbs, with blue eyes, a beard and mustache.
