These type of cases should have more info, even in a basic investigation.

Is it assumed that his traveling companions/friends and the flat bed truck are not missing?
Were his friends also from the state of New York?
Were his friends the ones to report William missing? Assuming so or else who would have known he was traveling with two other people?
If he was traveling with friends, wouldn't they have more details on his last known whereabouts?
Who was he last seen by in Haines Junction? His friends, or a random eye witness? (gas station attendant, restaurant workers etc.)
If his friends saw him there last, did he just walk away? Did they leave him there? Did he continue on the trek home hitchhiking and disappeared somewhere along the way?
Were his friends ever considered suspects or having involvement in William's disappearance?
