Fairbanks leaders plead for answers after string of unsolved missing persons cases
By Dan Bross, KUAC - Fairbanks -January 26, 2021
Fairbanks residents, families of the missing and Alaska Native leaders gathered at a vigil over the weekend to raise awareness about the unusually high number of local people who have gone missing, the majority of them Alaska Native.
The outdoor vigil offered families an opportunity to share their stories, thank those aiding the ongoing search for answers and call for new action.
Eight individuals have gone missing in the Fairbanks area since last May. Five of them are Alaska Native.
Thats unusually high, according to former Tanana Chiefs Conference VPSO Program Coordinator Jody Potts, who helped organize the Saturday afternoon vigil in front of TCCs Chief Peter John tribal building.
