Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, Alaska's First Serial Killer, Sept 3, 2018
In this episode of Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, which first aired on Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA Daybreak Channel 11 on Sept. 3, 2018, Alaska's first-known serial killer is revealed.
Between 1912 and 1915, a number of single, unattached men mysteriously disappeared in Southeast Alaska. The few law enforcement officials in the territory were baffled, but a suspect finally emerged in the fall of 1915.
A Petersburg man named Edward Krause, who’d run for the Territorial Legislature as a Socialist Party candidate in 1912, represented himself as a U.S. Marshall to officials at the Treadwell Mine in Douglas in mid-September. Krause told the bosses that he had a court summons for mine worker James Christie.
Christie departed with the bogus lawman and was never seen again.
Managers of the mine investigated Christie’s disappearance, thinking it was related to problems and rivalries between the company and laborers. They thought Krause, a radical socialist, may have been a hired killer engaged by the violent wing of the labor union.
Then, when it was learned that Krause was identified as the last person to see a missing charter boat operator out of Juneau, a warrant for his arrest was issued on charges of impersonating a federal officer in the Christie case.
Krause escaped the clutches of the law in Ketchikan and jumped onboard a steamer heading for Seattle. But a savvy passenger, who had seen wanted posters plastered by the Treadwell Mining Company, recognized him as the man with a bounty on his head.
When the steamer docked in Puget Sound, police detectives were waiting. A search of Krause’s possessions turned up incriminating evidence including forged documents, bank accounts and real estate transactions, which tied him to not only the recent disappearances in Juneau, but to the disappearances of at least eight other men, too.
After Krause was returned to Alaska, his true identity surfaced. Krause was really Edward Slompke, who’d served with the U. S. Army at Wrangell in 1897 and deserted in 1902.
Authorities found that over the years Krause recovered the assets of the murdered men. They also learned that a “murder gang,” run by Krause at Petersburg, was involved in additional mysterious disappearances.
Krause’s trails started in the spring of 1917. Since none of his victims ever were found, jurors found him guilty of kidnapping, robbery and forgery among other charges. He was sentenced to die by hanging in Juneau.
Krause sawed through the bars of his cell and escaped from the Juneau Federal Jail two days before his slated execution. That launched the most widespread manhunt in the territory’s history.
Fishing fleets in every Southeast community mobilized to block his escape out of Alaska. A few days later, a homesteader collected the $1,000 reward by killing Krause after the fugitive stepped out of a stolen skiff onto the beach at Admiralty Island.
To this day, law enforcement believes the extent of Krause’s criminal activities, if ever known, would be one of the most startling in the annals of American crime history.

Ketchikan to Hollis Ferry | Prince of Wales Driving Around Craig AK
Please share & subscribe! YOU MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN....
Living in Southeast Alaska is a lush bounty. A short commute away some 34 sea miles from Ketchikan is the incredible island of Prince of Wales. A little larger than the state of Delaware and the 4th largest island in the USA, POW is surely something to add to your bucket list!
The island itself is 135 miles long and 45 miles wide and
there are only 3,000 people on the whole island which is nearly 1 square miles per person (2,577 sq miles).
Here I take you through two of the biggest towns on the island, Craig, with the highest population of 1,000 and Klawock with a population of 750. Where the ferry arrives in Hollis there is a small, and many off the grid livers totaling just about 100.

Walking in Ketchikan, Alaska - What to Do on Your Day in Port
This is a quick video of walking through Ketchikan, Alaska. Ketchikan is the state's southeasternmost major settlement. Downtown Ketchikan is a National Historic District. Incorporated on August 25, 1900. Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, so named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver.
Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean the river belonging to Kitschk; other accounts claim it means Thundering Wings of an Eagle. In modern Tlingit this name is rendered as Kichx̱áan.
We walked up to Creek St. and then took the tram up to Cape Fox Lodge. We then walked down to the City Park and then back to the ship.
Note: At 5:13 the caption reads: We have walked about 'fo blocks' now. There is an outlet mall here with restrooms.
It should say 'four blocks'.

Chilkoot Lake Wildlife Kayak Tour - Haines, Alaska
Arrive in Haines where you will meet your wilderness guide and set out on a seaside drive to Chilkoot Lake State Park. This park has many highlights including Tlingit Indian cultural sites, a salmon-filled river flowing into the sea, and a turquoise lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
Once you arrive at Chilkoot Lake State Park, take in the scenery as you board your two-person sea kayaks. Your expert guide will show you the basics of paddling. Outfitted with the proper gear, you will soon be gliding silently along the shores of the lake. This pristine lake is uncrowded, and the scenery is spectacular. Huge waterfalls spill off of the cliffs surrounding the lake, lush green forests crowd the shoreline, and wildlife abounds. Pause at the base of one of these waterfalls, where your guide will reveal the secret workings of the rainforest.
Beginning in July, sockeye salmon spawn in one of the clear streams that feed into the lake. Eagles and bears are often attracted to this spot, and you will be able to view all the activity from your kayak. Total time on the lake is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
Paddle back to shore and enjoy a box lunch before driving back to Haines. Once back in Haines, board the high-speed catamaran for your journey back to Skagway. Return to your ship filled with memories and photographs from an unforgettable adventure.

Exit Glacier Tour, Alaska, Pt I with Randy Brooks
This gives you a pretty good idea of what you will see when you visit Exit Glacier, located about 15 miles from Seward, Alaska. Make sure you watch Part II, as most of the glacier views are included in that presentation. About the music: Randy Brooks, a fantastic trumpet player who began as a sideman for Les Brown, formed his own group in 1945. He always had a truely wonderful brass section in his groups, and that unison trumpet line around 2:54 just brings chills down my spine. That whole chorus at 3:00 is just beyond spectacular! The vocal is done by Kay Allen. The tune is Walking Away With My Heart, recorded in 1946.
2019 Alaska Safety | Heroes: Alaska Rescue Coordination Center | Sponsored by: Verizon
There is a myriad of search-and-rescue agencies across the state that help save lives on a regular basis, but the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson acts as the headquarters for centralizing information and communication between other agencies to figure out the best resources to deploy when assistance is needed. The RCC provides a 24-hours a day, seven days a week rescue coordination capability in support of US military and civil aviation search and rescue needs in Alaska. Because Alaska is so vast, and the environment can be so challenging, RCC personnel get a lot of practice carrying out missions, which also means they are constantly honing protocols for multi-agency coordination and refining knowledge in order to save as many lives as possible. The RCC is manned by Alaska Air National Guardsmen and the RCC director reports to 176th Wing leadership. During the last 25 years the RCC has saved about 2,400 lives.
