Circumstances of Disappearance

Mark was last seen at approximately 3:15 p.m. on November 25, 1991, near his family's home on Sunray Road in rural Del Haven. Mark had received permission from his mother to watch as firefights fought a small brush fire which had broken out near the family's home. His mother left to run an errand and was held up in traffic for 40 minutes; upon her arrival home, she saw that Mark did not return to the residence. She assumed he was playing with several neighborhood children. Mark has never been heard from again.

Investigators did learn that Mark may have been seen entering a nearby park with an unidentified female child at approximately 3:40 p.m. however, this report has never been confirmed.

Extensive air and ground searches by authorities uncovered his left shoe, which was located approximately 75 yards from his house. No other evidence has been discovered in this case.
