Anchorage police need help to find 62-year-old Andrew Edwards. He has been missing from his assisted living home since yesterday. Edwards, an Alaska native, walked away from the facility at 1 a.m. He’s 5’6″ and 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and has an intellectual disability, schizophrenia, and epilepsy.
Governor Mike Dunleavy signed three energy bills into law Wednesday. He aims to improve Alaska’s energy outlook and reduce costs. House Bill 50 creates a new revenue opportunity by storing carbon dioxide in depleted oil and gas basins.
The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) is celebrating its largest summer bridge program, with 54 students participating. ANSEP provides paid internships in science, engineering, and business to underrepresented groups, particularly Alaska Natives.
Police urge anyone with information to come forward. If you know Edwards’ whereabouts, contact authorities immediately. Governor Dunleavy’s new energy laws will boost Alaska’s economy and create growth opportunities.
The community is supporting Edwards’ family during this difficult time. A search party is organized, and local businesses offer resources to aid the search. Your help can bring Edwards home safely. Volunteers are needed for the search party, and donations are accepted to support the family.
