43-year-old Tracy Lynn Day went missing on Feb. 14. Day, a 5-foot-5, 135-pound woman, is white and Tlingit. In mid-February, when her family saw her last, she had brown hair with bangs. She usually wears her hair blonde, but has been wearing it brown with a little purple in it lately. Day is being treated for bipolar and schizophrenia, but she left her medication behind and hasn’t shown up for doctors’ appointments. One person police interviewed told them that they saw and spent time with Day on March 26 but police wouldn’t identify the private citizen, as the investigation is still going.

On 2/14/19 she shows up dressed inappropriately for the weather. She's given appropriate clothing. Not sure why she was given snow pants though. Did the sister know or assume she was living outside instead of in the church's apartment? If she hadn't been doing required chores for a few weeks, it sounds like she was homeless when February's rent came due. What happen to her personal items if she was evicted? Who are these 2 men and are they known to LE?

Day was living at a St. Vincent de Paul apartment prior to going missing, her family members said. Around Feb. 20, her father John Day, Sr., got a call from a St. Vincent de Paul staff member who said Tracy hadn’t been around and hadn’t been doing her usual chores in a couple weeks.

Family members looked for Tracy around town, but couldn’t find her. Schneider said they weren’t too worried, and that Tracy always found her way back to them. As the days turned into weeks, however, the family members grew worried.

Tracy has made friends throughout town, in part because of her caring nature. She’d literally give people the coat off her back if they were cold, her sisters recalled. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Tracy showed up to her mother’s house on Feb. 14 wearing slip-on shoes and a thin jacket.

Tracy’s twin sister, Angela Day-Nalan, gave Tracy a pair of black snowpants. By the time Angela dropped her off downtown that night, Tracy was wearing the snowpants, blue rubber boots, a black hoodie and a turquoise vest with a hood. Angela said that when Tracy got out of the car at the corner of Franklin Street and Ferry Way, Tracy walked over to two men who were standing near the former Heritage Coffee location there.

This must have been an acquaintance, rather than a friend. I initially was thinking she may have been couch surfing with friends prior to going missing. This person she saw, must not have known much about her, and her plans.

“One person police interviewed told them that they saw and spent time with Day on March 26, Kalwara said. Kalwara wouldn’t identify the private citizen, as the investigation is still going.

“It was not a family member who saw her on the 26th,” Kalwara said via email. “Even with the information that someone spent time with her on the 26th we still feel it is best to move forward with a missing person investigation.”“

It's been four years since local resident, Tracy Lynn Day, went missing in Juneau. Tracy was 43 years old when she disappeared. The family reported last seeing Tracy around 02/14/2019, and JPD received multiple possible sightings of her as late as March 2019, but none of the sightings could be confirmed. Tracy was known to frequent the downtown Juneau area and may have been staying on a boat in Aurora Harbor. A search with airline providers and Alaska Marine Highway showed no records of Tracy leaving Juneau.

As time has passed, the Juneau Police Department hopes that anyone who might have information regarding Tracy's disappearance and hasn't already spoken to police will be willing to come forward with this new information.

Anyone with information regarding a missing person is encouraged to contact the Juneau Police Department at (907) 586-0600. If you want to remain anonymous, please submit tips through Juneau Crime Line.

Information regarding missing person cases can be found at JPD – Missing Persons – City and Borough of Juneau.

<<Prior to her disappearance, Day had told multiple family members she thought someone was after her. They thought she was just experiencing paranoia due to her mental illness. Her loved ones describe her as a very friendly, trusting and generous individual. Her case remains unsolved.>>
