Details of Disappearance

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.
