Juneau police search for missing man on assault charge

A Juneau man suspected of committing a robbery in January is now missing.

Corey B. Coleman, 55, was listed on the Juneau Police Department’s missing persons page in early July.

According to Deputy Police Chief Krag Campbell, police are still seeking information about Coleman’s whereabouts and the other open cases also listed on their website.

“It provides some information to community members to keep it relevant, because we would like to get information on some of the missing people,” he said.

Police say Coleman is the suspect in an attack that left an elderly man with a gunshot wound near Sunshine Cove. He was last seen on Jan. 10 walking along a trail toward the cabin in Berner’s Bay.

The missing persons page on the JPD website is relatively new—it launched in 2022. It is designed to highlight current and long-standing missing persons cases in Juneau.

On his missing persons page, Coleman is described as a white male, 6’1″ tall with a slim build. He has light brown hair and green eyes. He is also reportedly missing his left ring finger, an injury sustained during the robbery.

Campbell said Coleman was not wearing warm clothing and it was below zero when he was last seen.

“People usually can’t be outside for very long in these conditions. And if he’s dead, then we want the case to be out there so that if he’s ever found, we can find him or his remains and we can tie it to that person in that area,” he said.

Campbell urges anyone with information about this or other missing persons cases to call the JPD’s dispatch center at 907-586-0600 or submit an anonymous tip through Juneau Crimeline.
