Robin Andrew Webster Missing Person Case: What Happened in Kodiak, Alaska?

Robin Andrew Webster vanished without a trace in the early morning hours of December 6, 2007, while working aboard the commercial fishing vessel Provider in Kodiak, Alaska. Nearly two decades later, no definitive evidence has emerged explaining what happened to the 43-year-old fisherman, and his disappearance remains an open missing person investigation.

Webster, whose nickname was “Hillbilly,” was last seen walking on the deck of the F/V Provider, which was docked at the Transient Float in Kodiak Harbor. At some point during the early morning, he disappeared. The only physical evidence discovered was his hat, found on the vessel’s deck later that morning. No signs of violence, struggle, or additional personal belongings were reported.

Search efforts focused on the harbor and surrounding waters but failed to locate Webster. Given the dangerous conditions commonly associated with Alaska’s commercial fishing industry, investigators considered the possibility that he accidentally fell overboard and drowned. However, because no body has ever been recovered, authorities have never been able to conclusively determine what happened.

The case has remained classified as a missing person investigation. Although Webster has been presumed dead by many—including the placement of a memorial gravestone in his hometown cemetery in Illinois—law enforcement has never officially closed the investigation.
