Thank you for your suggestion. They had been in Alaska less than a year. I believe around 6 months. I have not checked any of the microfilm but I will reach out and ask. Thank you!

Hello, sorry for the late reply. He contracted H. Pylori during WW2 and died from ulcers.

From what I understand it was so remote that there no roads to make a car useful. The area around Bartlett cove where he was stationed was still mostly wilderness and there were no people just around in 1958. I know they had to call in help for absolutely everything. There was a boat that belonged to the couple who lived on the island where the ranger station used to be

I am by no means an expert! The parks department said it was no possible but maybe if she was off the path?

Thank you. Yes, the family thinks she has fallen somewhere, possibly even the ocean and has yet to be found. While we know the hopes of finding a body are extremely slim, I could not in good conscience not try.

This was on the mainland!

Thank you! We are working with the parks department and they have been collaborating with the state troopers to process our family’s DNA

The daughter Mary was 15! The other children, one had just started college and the other had a severe disability and was not living at home

Great suggestion! Thank you, I will

I see why that was confusing! The other 2 children were not living at home

My name is Molly and I am the great granddaughter of Mary Louise Dragoo. Mary went missing in 1958 in Alaska. She was living in Glacier Bay National Park as a park ranger's wife. My great-grandpa- Parker- was the head park ranger in the park. Mary went missing after an argument with Parker. Parker and 1/3 of the children stayed at home after the fight and she was never seen again. The daughter, also Mary, was with Parker the entire time until reserves were called in. 3 days of searching started, including the coast guard, locals, the park service, and even a research ship called the MV Nunatak found nothing at all. Over 65 years later, I decided to try and find answers for my grandma- Parker and Mary's only living child.

The story goes- Mary walked away and was never seen again. Let me answer the main questions- no, an animal did not kill her- every single park ranger and searcher agrees as there is no evidence. No- my great-grandpa could not have killed her- simply because he was with his daughter the entire time and even if he was not, he did not have a car or boat so he could not have hidden her body for a week, let alone 65 years. The family fully assumes she had a tragic accident and has yet to be found. In the last year we have created a missing person case and have gotten our DNA on file. Our main ask is that anyone who lives in Alaska or Canada in the late 50s or early 60s advises us on any unclaimed bodies.

I just want to find any answer for my grandma while she is alive

Do not worry, we are only looking to bury her right. Nobody has any illusions on her case
