John Klukas

UPDATE: Aug 30, 2023 | 3:35 PM
The remains of a Terrace resident who vanished over a year ago has been found.

John Klukas’s body was found last Friday August 25th in a ravine off an abandoned logging road near Copper River Forest Service Road.

That was the same area that his vehicle was found abandoned that prompted weeks long search for him by Terrace search and rescue members along with his family and friends.

64 year-old John Klukas was last seen at 5:00 in the evening on July 5th 2022, before departing to visit a family member.

However, Klukas never arrived at his relative’s home.

Terrace SARs manager Dave Jephson says a long term member of the Terrace SAR team came across the remains by accident while walking his dog.

The cause of death has not been disclosed as of yet.
