Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP39687) and 6 other sources
David Dean, 57, was last in contact with family and friends on August 2, 2016, in Oakland, California. At the time of his disappearance, Dean was believed to be living in the Oakland metro area. Very few details have emerged about his disappearance, and there is little information regarding the circumstances that led to his being reported missing.

Dean is described as a white male, 5'10" in height, weighing around 220 pounds, with brown hair. Despite efforts from authorities and his family, his case remains unsolved. He is listed in multiple missing persons databases, and authorities continue to seek any information that might lead to answers about his whereabouts.

Investigators are still hoping for new leads and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
