A lack of new residents drives Alaska’s sustained trend of outmigration. Plus, the victim of last month’s fatal Ketchikan landslide is remembered as a dedicated community member. And, one man’s smashed-up demolition derby car shows people suffering from addiction that recovery is possible.

Reports tonight from:

Liz Ruskin and Ava White in Anchorage
Jamie Diep in Homer
Eric Stone in Juneau
Jack Darrell and Michael Fanelli in Ketchikan
Ashlyn O’Hara in Kenai
Anisa Vietze in Palmer
