A former Juneau woman has gone missing in Anchorage. Linda Skeek, 32, was last seen at her home in south Anchorage on New Year’s Day.

According to a public announcement from the Anchorage Police Department, Skeek left her home on foot after a fight with her husband. She was reported missing Jan. 4.

Skeek, whose maiden name is Sheldon, moved to Anchorage from Juneau in April and still has many friends and family members in Southeast. Skeek’s family told Anchorage police that she had left for the weekend before but would always return by Sunday so she could go to work the next day.

On Nov. 30, Skeek filed for a protective order for herself and two children against her husband. She withdrew her petition for a permanent protective order 10 days later. Skeek’s mother Laura Sheldon says the two had a fight but had resolved it.

Skeek is 5′ 10″, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black coat, red vest and red skirt.

Anyone who knows of Linda Skeek’s whereabouts are asked to call the Anchorage Police Department at 907-786-8900.
