Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP57869) and 3 other sources
David Wayne Bellah, 38, was last seen in March 1991 in Roseville, California. He was not in frequent contact with his family but would visit for holidays and family events. In March 1991, he attended an Easter gathering, marking the last time his family saw or heard from him. Bellah was driving a Mercedes-Benz at the time of his disappearance, but no further information about his vehicle or whereabouts has been discovered.

At the time of his disappearance, Bellah was 6'2", weighed between 180 and 200 pounds, had black hair (due to a hair transplant), and brown eyes. He was known to wear fancy clothing, although his exact attire on the day he vanished is unknown.
