- Details of Disappearance:
- On February 6, 2003, environmental consultant Sarah Snyder left work in Anchorage, Alaska. She was seen at home later that day, but then vanished.
The next day, her truck was found at Millers Landing, a resort on Resurrection Bay near Seward. She’d left a note in her truck saying she didn’t want to be found, hinting at depression but not explicitly stating suicide. Friends said she’d been acting depressed and suicidal before disappearing.
A very old, unsafe kayak was missing from the resort. Police think Snyder took this kayak onto Resurrection Bay. A search found nothing.
Snyder was a highly educated outdoorswoman with a love for kayaking and climbing. A month after she disappeared, her parents held a memorial service. Police believe she’s in Resurrection Bay, but her case remains a mystery.
