Anthony Michael Bissaco was last heard from in Skagway, Alaska, on the afternoon of February 6, 2018. His vehicle and wallet were later located, but Anthony was not found. Authorities have considered the possibility that he died by suicide, but his remains have never been recovered and the available public records continue to list him as missing.

Anthony Michael Bissaco Disappears in Skagway

Thirty-year-old Anthony Michael Bissaco disappeared from the small southeastern Alaska community of Skagway on February 6, 2018.

According to missing-person records, Anthony was last heard from at approximately 4:30 p.m. that afternoon. There has been no confirmed contact with him since. The Alaska missing-person database records the date of his disappearance as February 6 and identifies the Skagway Police Department as the investigating agency under case number 18-0304.

Anthony was described as a white man with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time he disappeared, he was approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and 200 pounds. He was 30 years old.

His Car and Wallet Were Found, but Anthony Was Not

One of the most significant details in Anthony’s disappearance is the discovery of his personal property.

His car and wallet were found after he disappeared, yet investigators found no sign of Anthony himself. Publicly available case summaries do not identify a more specific location where those items were recovered.

The discovery left investigators with evidence that Anthony had been in the area, but not with an answer to what happened to him after his final known contact.

Anthony has never been located, and publicly available case information does not report the recovery of remains or other evidence conclusively establishing what happened to him.

Concerns About Anthony’s Mental Health

Published missing-person records state that Anthony suffered from depression and may have been suicidal when he disappeared. Investigators have consequently considered the possibility that Anthony took his own life.

That theory, however, should be distinguished from a confirmed finding.

No body has been recovered, and Anthony continues to appear in missing-person records. The available public documentation therefore does not establish a confirmed cause or manner of death.

Anthony’s Friend Appealed to the Skagway Community

The emotional impact of Anthony’s disappearance became public just weeks later.

During a March 15, 2018 meeting of the Municipality of Skagway Assembly, Anthony’s friend Timothy Sislo addressed local officials and residents. Sislo told the assembly that he believed Anthony had ended his life on February 6 and spoke about Anthony’s struggles with depression. Importantly, those statements represented Sislo’s personal belief rather than a documented official determination of Anthony’s death.

Sislo also emphasized that Anthony was still officially considered missing and appealed for anyone with additional information about the events surrounding February 6 to assist the police investigation. He described a community searching not only for answers but for some form of closure.

The assembly record provides an unusually personal view of the case. Sislo described Skagway as a place Anthony loved for its mountains, wilderness and ocean and said Anthony had found both solitude and community there.

What Investigators Believe Happened

The Charley Project states that investigators believe Anthony may have died by suicide. His known history of depression, concerns that he may have been suicidal at the time, and circumstances surrounding his disappearance have contributed to that theory.

However, there is a critical unresolved fact: Anthony has never been found.

Without the recovery of his remains or other conclusive publicly disclosed evidence, the circumstances of his disappearance cannot be definitively established from the available records. There is also no publicly documented evidence establishing that Anthony was the victim of a homicide. His case should therefore continue to be described as an unresolved missing-person case rather than a confirmed death or homicide.

Latest Publicly Available Case Information

As of August 2026, Anthony remains included in Alaska’s statewide missing-person data. The state listing continues to identify the Skagway Police Department, disappearance date of February 6, 2018, and agency case number 18-0304.

A Crime Solvers Central case profile most recently marked August 3, 2026 likewise continues to describe Anthony as missing and reports no recovery of his body or resolution of the case.

NamUs maintains Anthony’s federal missing-person entry as MP42120. The NamUs record identifies his last contact as February 6, 2018, in Skagway.

I found no publicly announced recent arrest, identification of remains, confirmed homicide determination, or other major investigative breakthrough connected to Anthony’s disappearance in the current records and reporting reviewed for this article.

The lack of a newly announced development does not necessarily mean investigators have stopped reviewing information. It means that no substantive new investigative result could be verified through the publicly available sources reviewed here.

The Unanswered Question in Anthony Bissaco’s Case

More than eight years after Anthony disappeared, the central question remains unchanged: Where is Anthony Michael Bissaco?

His vehicle and wallet were recovered, investigators developed a theory concerning what may have happened, and a close friend publicly described the pain and uncertainty surrounding his disappearance. Yet the most important piece of evidence — Anthony himself — has never been found.

Until Anthony is located or additional evidence establishes his fate, his February 2018 disappearance in Skagway remains unresolved.
