Troopers Seek Information on Three Missing Persons Cases

The Alaska State Troopers continue to investigate the suspicious disappearances of Willis Derendoff and Doren Sanford who went missing from the Fairbanks area in 2020. We believe that members of the public have critical information that can help solve these investigations and bring closure to their loved ones. In addition, the Troopers are still looking for Frank Minano who went missing from somewhere between Ester and Nenana in late 2020 while looking for firewood.

If you or someone you know has any information regarding Willis Derendoff, Frank Minano, or Doren Sanford’s location or the circumstances surrounding their disappearance that has not already been shared with law enforcement please call Alaska State Troopers in Fairbanks at (907) 451-5100.
