The transmitter that stayed in Fairbanks cost them thirty-nine days
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events surrounding the October 16, 1972 disappearance of a twin-engine Cessna with four men aboard and the puzzling absence of its emergency locator transmitter. The episode traces who was on the flight, what was known about the device, and why the search never recorded a confirmed emergency signal.
Person: Thomas Hale Boggs
Date: October 16, 1972
Location: Alaska Range / flight from Anchorage to Juneau
Event: Disappearance of Cessna 310 with four aboard
Item: Emergency locator transmitter confirmed left airport in another aircraft
- The Cessna 310 departed Anchorage at 9:59 AM with pilot Don Jonz, Rep. Nick Begich, aide Russell Brown, and Hale Boggs aboard.
- No distress call, mayday, or position report was ever transmitted after contact was lost over the Alaska Range.
- The emergency locator transmitter that should have been on the plane remained in a Fairbanks hangar for thirty-nine days.
- Search efforts became one of the largest in Alaskan history, involving the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, Army, and Air Force across mountains and water.
- Witness testimony noted an object in the pilot’s briefcase that “looked exactly like” the transmitter, raising questions about why no confirmed signal was received.
