Andrew Evan: The Russian Mission Search Record
A school account, a missing-person report and community searches.
Abstract
Andrew Evan’s NamUs entry, MP154878, lists January 12, 2026 as Date of Last Contact in Russian Mission, Alaska. Its agency record gives January 15 as the report date.1
The School and Report Record
NamUs describes Andrew as last seen at the school in Russian Mission. It identifies Alaska State Troopers reference AK26004574. The entry does not reproduce a named witness’s statement or an exact observation time.1
The date labels describe different parts of the record. They do not establish every event between the school account and the report, or explain when family or others first raised concerns.1
The Local Community Account
Evan Erickson’s January 18, 2026 KYUK report identified Andrew as 15 and also known as Carlton. Attributing its information to troopers, it placed the school account on January 12 and the missing-person report on the evening of January 15.2
The article described crews searching the city, local trails and areas upriver and downriver. It reported an appeal for residents to check structures around their homes. These describe community participation at that time.2
KYUK also reported that troopers did not know what Andrew was wearing or where he was heading. Those gaps should stay visible rather than become a guessed route.2
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you identify the original school observation and its time before drawing a continuous timeline from the registry’s dates?1
Can you distinguish an area searched from a place Andrew was documented to have been, keeping the unknown direction of travel clear?2
Keep the source date, the person or agency supplying the information and your unanswered questions in a Research File in Almost Solved. Families and search volunteers are part of the history; gaps in these records do not assign them blame.

The Later Trooper Dispatch
A trooper dispatch posted February 2, 2026, under AK26004574 described local search-and-rescue crews, village public safety officers, troopers, Alaska Solstice Search Dogs and aerial searches. It reported no signs of Andrew during those efforts.3
The dispatch said active searches were suspended February 1, with further efforts to be evaluated if new information or evidence emerged. That was a dated operational decision, not a finding about Andrew’s fate or proof of present search activity.3
The agency also recorded a suspicion that Andrew had left voluntarily. That was an agency assessment, not an established intention. This review did not inspect the underlying interviews or full search record.3
Scope and Method
Original witness statements and the full search record were not inspected.
