On December 25, 2011, 53-year-old Steve Troxell was last seen in the Goshen, Indiana area. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing between 5'5" and 5'9" tall and weighing between 160 and 190 pounds. He had partially gray hair and green eyes. Troxell has several tattoos, including on his left arm, left hand, right arm, right hand, and right shoulder. When he was last seen, he was believed to be wearing tan boots.
He was known to be driving a blue 1996 Jeep Cherokee with Indiana license plate number D623HD. A distinguishing feature of the vehicle was its very loud muffler.
The circumstances surrounding Steve Troxell's disappearance remain unclear. It is known that he has struggled with his mental health and has a history of leaving for extended periods. However, his family has stated that he had never been gone for such a long duration before. The official report of his disappearance was not filed with the Goshen Police Department until December 9, 2016, nearly five years after he was last seen. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on February 24, 2016.
The investigation into Steve Troxell's disappearance is ongoing and is being handled by the Goshen Police Department. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts or the circumstances of his disappearance is encouraged to contact the Goshen Police Department at 533-8661, referencing case number 16GOS00696. The lack of significant leads and the passage of time have made this a challenging case for law enforcement. The overview of the case is that a man with known mental health concerns, who had a pattern of leaving for periods of time, vanished without a trace, with his vehicle also unaccounted for, leaving his family with unanswered questions for over a decade.Last Seen: Dec 25, 2011
