Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Mark was last seen at DJ's Bar in the 6400 block of Martin Street in Rome, New York at approximately 12:05 a.m. on June 7, 1990. He had spent the evening drinking and may have been intoxicated when he left. Mark disappeared with an eighteen-year-old coworker, Douglas Goodwin. They may have been en route to Utica, New York that night. Neither of them have been heard from again. Mark's loved ones believe he did not run away and foul play was involved in his disappearance. He left behind all his clothes, his money, his cigarettes and his new shoes, and it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. He wasn't reported missing for several days, because his family thought he was with friends. Someone using Mark's name and Social Security number was located in Missouri in 2001, but police determined this individual was not Mark and had in fact stolen his identity. There have been no leads in his case since then. Mark resided on Llewellyn Road in Remsen, New York and was a student at the Madison-Oneida Board of Cooperative Educational Services at the time of his disappearance. He was raised from infancy by an aunt and her husband, as his mother was very young when he was born and felt she was unable to care for him. His case and Goodwin's remain unsolved.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece. |
