UPDATE Missing Child on Ketchikan's Lunch Creek Trail


Final Update: At approximately 1445 hours, ground searchers located Jaxson deceased and recovered his remains. Next of kin has been notified. AST would like to thank its partner agencies as well as the volunteer search and rescue personnel.

Update: Search efforts are ongoing for 5-year-old Jaxson Brown. Jaxson went out hiking with his mother, identified as Jennifer Treat, 36 of Ketchikan, on Wednesday (3-25-2020) afternoon. During the hike, the pair became disoriented and lost the trail. They spent the night together. In the morning, Treat left Jaxson to seek help on her own, as he was reportedly tired and didn’t want to hike anymore. In her rush to find help, Treat reportedly tripped on a root and significantly injured her leg. Treat was found the following day and search and rescue efforts immediately began for Jaxson. Currently, approximately 20 ground searchers are out. The USCG is flying one of its helicopters to support the search efforts. At this time, no additional volunteer searchers are needed. Additional untrained searchers may hamper efforts.
