On September 30, 1974, a Grumman Mallard Amphibian aircraft carrying four men departed Anchorage bound for Kodiak, Alaska, but never arrived at its destination. Jay Larry Haddock, along with Robert Johnson, Robert Bergman, and Leonard Boughton, vanished over Alaska's waters in what remains one of the state's enduring aviation mysteries.
