Alaska Airport Employee Arrested for Multi-Year GPS Stalking Scheme

Dustin Madden, a 40-year-old Airport Operations Specialist at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, has been arrested and charged with stalking and tampering with evidence after allegedly placing GPS trackers on the personal vehicles of several coworkers to monitor their movements outside of work. Madden, who began working at the airport in September 2020, reportedly engaged in this surveillance scheme over several years, with incidents occurring in 2022, 2024, and multiple times in 2025. Authorities have warned employees to avoid touching any suspicious devices found on their vehicles and to contact law enforcement immediately to preserve evidence. Madden admitted to installing the devices, claiming he was monitoring driving habits but also acknowledged finding some victims attractive and deleted tracking data before police interviews. The Anchorage International Airport and the Alaska Department of Transportation emphasized their commitment to a safe workplace, reviewing security protocols, and increasing parking area patrols to protect staff and visitors. Officials suspect there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward and are urging anyone affected to report it.
