I previously made a thread for Alex Inga Sr. and Alex Inga Jr: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/s...-Jr-18-amp-Alex-Inga-Sr-50-Kodiak-10-Dec-1974

Their circumstances say that their empty skiff was found in Amee Bay. I'm not sure why one of them is mentioned with these 3 men unless they think the plane hit the skiff? :thinking:

The specific flight that crashed was Kodiak Western Airlines Flight 91; I haven't been able to find much info about it online. Larry Carr and Frank Rodman were the two Alaska state troopers who recovered the body of Alex Inga Sr. I'm assuming that Robert Hall was the pilot. This article mentions that the plane also had two passengers who were lost as well but I haven't been able to find their names and I don't think they have NamUs entries.

A history of Alaska State Troopers' line-of-duty deaths

In all, 16 Alaska State Troopers and wildlife enforcement officers have died in the line of duty, some in accidents, some during rescues, and some at the hands of criminals.

I wonder if any of them have DNA on file, because Alaska has a lot of random unidentified individual human bones found washed up on shore that could possibly be one of these people.
