On Monday, Samuel E. McAlpine, was found dead in his home. He had been missing for over a year. He lived in Alaska and was 37 years old. He was last seen on March 17th, 2013, when he told his mother that he was going on a date. His sister reported him missing 12 days later, however the rest of the family was not concerned because they say he "frequently disappears for weeks at a time". He was going through a divorce at the time and had just moved out of the house. His ex-wife was renting the house out and those people just moved out. While she was in the house fixing it up for the next renters, she smelt a gross smell and found his body in a closet in the basement. They think drugs and alcohol were a big part of his death but are still investigating it.
