Arne Edward Dahl: The Randi Jo Record
An official case entry and a dated report describe the boating incident.
Abstract
NamUs MP97826 lists November 27, 2022 for Arne Edward Dahl, under Alaska State Troopers case AK22123062.1
The Official Case Account
The summary places the Randi Jo near West Rock at Prince of Wales Island and describes Dahl falling overboard after the vessel sank.1
A short compiled account cannot, by itself, reconstruct every movement between a vessel and the surrounding islands. The original observation matters as much as the date assigned to it.
The Dated Public Report
Rachel Cassandra’s December 1, 2022 report attributes a grounding around 4:30 p.m. Sunday near Point Baker to Alaska Wildlife Troopers. It describes two people reaching a rock island before Dahl tried swimming toward another island.2
That is a more detailed sequence than the brief overboard description. It should not be combined with the entry to invent an independently verified reconstruction. The original statements behind each summary were not inspected.1,2
The report’s publication date is later than the incident. Its description of a search belongs to that dated reporting, rather than a claim about what investigators have established today.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you obtain the original observation behind the overboard description?1
Can you establish how the published accounts relate through original witness statements?2
Can you separate the incident date from the November 28 agency report-date field?1
Keep the exact source and the part of the sequence it describes together in a Research File in Almost Solved. Record the observation, its speaker and its date before extending the timeline.

Later Search Accounts and Limits
Search chief Tim Buness told Cassandra that the response began Monday. Her report says a passing vessel rescued the woman and dog, and active searching ended Tuesday.2
NamUs records unsuccessful searching. The public entry does not reproduce operational logs or the full investigative file.1
These inspected accounts do not establish a recovery of Dahl. Ending an active search is different from documenting a confirmed outcome, and the dated report should not be read as a current status update.
Scope and Method
Original witness statements and search logs were not inspected.
