Any news?

Sad deal, crazy how someone can vanish in open country like that. Can the wet tundra suck you into the earth or what?

 

[Larry Bartlett]

yes

So I just seen a Facebook post from a family member where they found Steve but unfortunately this is the situation. Pretty messed up.

That’s awful. Is it fair to say there’s no proof it’s actually Steve vs some other possible missing person?

Idk but Ive walked across a silty wet area up there that looked like knee deep water and instantly sank up to my waste. Lifting a leg to step out only made my sink deeper so I had to roll to the side and work my way out... made me a little nervous.

It sounds like that would be very fair to say. It doesn’t even seem like there is full verification that it is even a person. A terrible situation all the way around. Hopefully someone can provide some answers and this family can get some closure.

Just read this whole thread and just wow. The update is as absurd as the aliens. How frustrating.

Very sad, Murphy is always right around the corner....

I have a friend who watch an enter bull moose completely disappear in a tundra bog.

Maybe it was the little people (Inukins, Ircenrraat, Sungcuk). I know a Native guy from Noatak that is a believer and claims to have seen one. Who knows?

The body they thought was his were not human remains, unfortunately.

Another setback for family of missing Dover man

Steve Keel, an avid outdoorsman, was in Alaska on a caribou hunting trip with a friend when he vanished.

Not surprised. I would be surprised if they found his body in a lake unless foul play was involved or it was only a few feet from shore.

I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if they never found him, as there are many, many places to get lost up here, and never be found.

Little People

​

We were glassing a couple weeks ago and saw something very out of place and I made a joke it was the little people. We laughed and told little people stories for a couple hours. Not gonna lie, the thought stuck in my head and messed me up a bit every so often the rest of the trip!

I know people who truly believe in those things and keep the windows shut in their homes specifically because of them

What did you see??

 

[MallardSX2]

I would say that the guy fell into a tundra bog and that's it. Once he went under you would never even see a mark where there was a struggle.

 

[william schmaltz]

Just what appeared to be some sort of frame for a temporary man-made structure in the distance. At an extremely remote area a long ways from where you could get a plane, boat, or ATV. Probably just from some former moose hunters or snow machiner that got in a bind once upon a time and had to throw up a tarp for shelter.
