Florence Lee Gregory disappeared from Anchorage, Alaska, shortly before she was expected to travel south toward Anchor Point and Homer. The publicly documented circumstances center on her final text-message communication with a friend, money sent to help her obtain a hotel room, and the planned charter flight she apparently never completed.

There is no reliable public information establishing that Florence was the victim of a homicide. Current records reviewed for this article continue to classify her as a missing person.

Florence Gregory Disappears in Anchorage

Florence Lee Gregory was 55 years old when she was last known to be in contact with someone on September 3, 2023, in Anchorage, Alaska. Available case records describe her as a white woman with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 170 pounds.

The following day, September 4, Florence was reportedly supposed to travel by charter aircraft from Anchorage toward Anchor Point and Homer, communities on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. That planned trip has become one of the central details of her disappearance because Florence apparently never completed the journey.

Her Final Known Communications

According to missing-person case information, Florence exchanged text messages with a friend on September 3. During those communications, the friend reportedly sent Florence money so she could stay at a hotel.

Afterward, additional messages sent to Florence went unanswered. There is no publicly documented subsequent communication from her, and she has not been publicly reported as located.

The abrupt end to those communications is especially significant because Florence had plans for the following day. What happened between her final messages on September 3 and her expected departure on September 4 remains unclear from publicly released information.

When Florence Was Reported Missing

Anchorage Police Department records associated with the case list September 15, 2023 as the agency report date and identify APD case number 230030066. The Alaska Department of Public Safety’s current missing-person dataset also lists Florence Gregory under that same case number with the Anchorage Police Department as the investigating agency.

Her disappearance subsequently appeared in public missing-person databases and awareness organizations. Missing People in America created a case page describing the intended flight, final communications and police case number, while NamUs now lists Florence under MP110055.

Questions Surrounding the Planned Flight

The planned September 4 flight leaves several important unanswered questions.

Public case summaries say Florence was expected to travel from Anchorage to Anchor Point and then Homer via charter aircraft. What has not been publicly established is whether she ever arrived at an airport or charter facility, whether a reservation or passenger manifest confirmed the precise itinerary, or where she spent the night after receiving money for lodging.

Those missing details create an important gap in the publicly known timeline. The available records establish the intended trip but do not provide a publicly documented final physical sighting connected with the aircraft.

Latest Publicly Available Investigation Information

Florence’s case remains publicly listed among Alaska’s missing persons. The Alaska Department of Public Safety’s current downloadable missing-person information continues to identify Florence Gregory, case 230030066, Anchorage Police Department, indicating that the case has not disappeared from the state’s active missing-person records.

NamUs currently maintains Florence’s missing-person record as MP110055 and gives September 3, 2023, as her date of last contact. The NamUs page shows that the federal database record was created on May 7, 2026, meaning her disappearance received a NamUs entry more than two years after she vanished.

CrimeTea also currently categorizes Florence’s case as active and unresolved, while CrimeSolvers Central’s case page was most recently updated on August 8, 2026 and continues to describe her whereabouts as unknown. These are independent case-awareness databases rather than official investigative releases, but they provide additional confirmation that no resolution has been publicly announced through those sources.

No publicly available source located during the latest review announced an arrest, the discovery of Florence’s remains, confirmation that she voluntarily disappeared, or another resolution to the case.

What Remains Unknown

More than the destination itself, the most important unanswered question is where Florence went after her final communications on September 3.

Publicly available records do not disclose the hotel where she may have intended to stay, a confirmed final street address in Anchorage, surveillance footage, a confirmed final in-person witness, or information establishing that she boarded transportation out of Anchorage.

There is also no reliable public evidence establishing foul play. The absence of Florence for an extended period is concerning, but disappearance alone does not establish homicide or criminal involvement.

Florence Gregory’s Description

At the time she disappeared, Florence was reported as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was 55 years old in September 2023.

Anyone who encountered Florence in Anchorage around September 3, 2023—particularly anyone with information about where she stayed that evening, transportation arrangements, or her intended September 4 charter flight—could potentially have information relevant to reconstructing her final known movements.

The Search for Answers Continues

Florence Lee Gregory’s disappearance remains unresolved more than two years after she was last known to be in contact with a friend in Anchorage.

The established public timeline is remarkably short: final communications on September 3, a planned flight on September 4, a missing-person report documented later that month, and years without a publicly announced resolution.

Her case continues to appear in state and national missing-person resources. Until Florence is located or investigators publicly determine what happened to her, the unanswered period between her final messages and her planned departure remains at the center of the mystery.
