Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29836) and 7 other sources
John Carl Goodman, 52, was last seen on June 26, 2007, in La Habra, California. His mother reported him missing three days later after visiting his home and finding the front door open, lights and a ceiling fan on, but no sign of John. Authorities discovered signs of disturbance at his residence, including a broken rear window in both his house and his truck. His white 1997 Chevrolet Suburban, with the California license plate 4GWV182, was also missing.

Neighbors reported that Goodman, normally a quiet individual, had been receiving visitors before his disappearance. Given these unusual circumstances, including the state of his home and vehicle, law enforcement suspects foul play. Despite extensive investigation, no significant leads have emerged, and his case remains unsolved.

Goodman was described as 5'10", 160 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. He had several tattoos, including "God First" on his right forearm and "F*** Satan" on his left forearm. Investigators continue to seek information regarding his disappearance.
