This is one more tragic story of a Mat-Su Valley teen, 17 year old Trenton Michael Tunohun. He was doing what most Valley teens regularly do, party. The drug problem is at epidemic proportions after years of neglect by leaders of the area. The police were called due to a report of an assault where someone pulled a gun. Only alcohol is mentioned, not drugs. Gatherings like this is typical in the Valley. Often reports go dead, they don't get far with investigations or follow up in the press. Wasilla has an arsonist or arsonists on the loose. After the Wasilla Bible Church fire in December 2008 there has been no significant updates on what progress was made to solve the problem with arsonists, including the church fire. The FBI was brought in and still no follow up. There is this: Palin’s church fire was attempted murder by a professional By Kevin “Coach” Collins. The "facts" are from Sarah Palin's church Elder Tom Ryan.
The world is watching and wants to know, what is the problem in this small area? When Sarah Palin was around she had the mega commercial Menard Sports Complex built at great expense to the community. Palin liked the look so much she manipulated zoning and copied many features to a house she claims Todd and a few friends built on week ends. Would alcohol/drug treatment and more money to help the police with investigations been a better investment?
What is happening with these typical recreational outings where teens and adults mingle to party? Will the police have the money to continue an investigation now that the body was found? The death may have been accidental but there are lingering questions as to what led up to the assault. Do the police ignore underage
drinking recreation if no one has a gun or draws blood? There are continuing questions about Sherry Johnston's arrest. What next?Palmer teen RUNNING SCARED: Palmer party ends in tragedy for 'good kid' spooked by cops.

17-year-old Trenton Michael Tunohun of Palmer, missing since July 27
On Monday, July 27, 2009, at about 0340 hours, Palmer Police responded to a report of a
man with blood on himself, staggering near the Matanuska River Bridge. Palmer Police contacted TROY A. JOHNSON, age 36 of Palmer. JOHNSON stated some juveniles had assaulted him and pulled a firearm on him during a disturbance at the river. Police went to contact the juveniles who were parked on the Palmer side of the Mat River Bridge at the pullout and when the officer arrived on scene four juveniles and one adult, later identified as JODY M. JOHNSON, age 33 of Palmer, fled into the wooded area north and west of the 
Matanuska River. One of the four juveniles who ran into the woods was TRENTON TUNOHUN, age 17 of Palmer. The following day friends reported that TUNOHUN did not return home and filed a missing person report with Palmer Police. He hasn't been online since the day he disappeared. Nothing too exciting on his page, though, other than his friends' homophobic and racist comments.
Police say they continue to investigate Tunohun’s disappearance. They are calling people who knew Tunohun and looking into who provided the alcohol that night and where the gun came from.
