Monday on Alaska News Nightly:

A missing seven-year-old from Kodiak is found dead a few miles from his home. Also, liberal-leaning Alaska voters worry about splitting the vote in a crowded special primary to fill Don Young’s seat. And deep snowpack in the Interior last winter led an increase in wildlife deaths.

Reports tonight from:

Sabine Poux in Kenai

Kirsten Dobroth in Kodiak

Yvonne Krumrey in Juneau

Liz Ruskin in Anchorage

Dan Bross in Fairbanks

Tim Ellis in Delta Junction

Anna Rose MacArthur in Bethel

Katharine Rose in Sitka

and Sage Smiley in Wrangell

Alaska News Nightly is hosted by Casey Grove, with producing and audio engineering from Toben Shelby and Katie Anastas.
