Officials, family looking for Fort Wainwright man missing since Monday

So far efforts to find 22-year-old Mason Heimer or his gray Dodge pickup truck — license plate JFY485 — have been unsuccessful.

Heimer lives on Fort Wainwright, where he is a construction engineer and has been stationed for eight months, said his father, Doug Heimer.

Mason spent Sunday night with a soldier in his unit who he often stayed with in the Chena Ridge area. On Monday morning he texted his sergeant to say he was sick and had made arrangements to get checked out on the way to morning physical training. Bank and security camera records showed that at 5:45 a.m. he drove near the Fort Wainwright gate, stopping at Walmart and the Johansen Expressway McDonald's.

“Then he went off the grid completely,” his father said.

Heimer said his son’s sergeant called him Tuesday and that he immediately got on a plane to Alaska to help look for his son. He is offering a $10,000 reward for information about the location of his son. A Facebook post he wrote about the search has been shared 8,700 times.

Both the Alaska State Troopers and Fort Wainwright’s military police are looking into the disappearance. Heimer said his son’s cellphone hasn’t “pinged” area towers since early Monday morning and that his son also hasn’t used social media or his bank card.

I know the family. The father is there now looking and offering a $10,000 reward. It's unfortunate that it's so remote and far away otherwise more of our community would be there. Hoping the military could offer more support for one of their own. Thank you for your help.

I wonder if they can get his phone records? He made arrangements to see a Dr or get checked out. Do they know where? I would assume he was getting checked out before going to work, that would be the location he was heading. IMO

Father of missing Ft. Wainwright solider offers cash reward for information

Before work on Monday, 22-year-old Ft. Wainwright solider Mason Heimer stopped for breakfast at McDonald's. Bank records show he used his debit card for the purchase. But since then, no one has seen him.

Alaska State Troopers have launched an investigation, and Military Police is taking the lead to work together and locate Mason. His car, a gray Ram 1500 Dodge pickup truck bearing the license plate JFY485, is also missing.

There is a $10,000 reward for "any information leading to Mason or his vehicle."

I agree, I think his father, the state troopers, and military police would have started looking there. He may not have made arrangements to see a doc yet, i.e. just called in sick last minute. I also hope they talk to the friend he was with the night before about any signs he may or may not have seen.

I cannot believe this man is still missing with no clues. This is either a criminal issue from the McDonalds or someone/thing is out for him, OR he had a accident on his way to work or Dr appt? I would question his friend he stayed with the night before to see if there were issues of some sort. IMO. Something is off! IMO

Some sort of psychological break and he took off on his own?

Oh, no. I'm so very, very sorry to see this. My condolences to Mason's Family and Friends.

Thank you for your help and support. We will be praying for the repose of Mason's soul as well as the healing of his family.

This is so sad. Yet another case for use to remember....people that are suicidal do not always show signs of, and will continue their day as if normal, not as if they are going to kill themself. Mason got breakfast at McD! If one were thinking logically, why would you need to eat if you're going to die? But that's not how the brain works when in a crisis.

My prayers are with his family and friends.

What a shame! Mason was not feeling well and heading to a doctor, unless none of this was true. And, he has a young son too, so sad. Condolences to his family and friends.
