Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28380) and 5 other sources
David Milton Black, age 39, was last seen on August 26, 1991, in San Francisco, California. At the time of his disappearance, Black was described as 6 feet tall, weighing around 150 pounds, with sandy hair and green eyes. He also had a scar on his abdomen and was known to use aliases such as "Dave Deween" and "Robert Stork."

Although Black initially vanished in 1991, there were indications that he resurfaced in 2008 under the alias "Robert Stork," suggesting he may have chosen to live under a new identity. However, after that sighting, he disappeared again, and his current whereabouts remain unknown.

The circumstances surrounding his initial disappearance and later resurfacing remain unclear. His case is still open, and authorities continue to seek any information that could provide answers about what happened to him.
Last Seen: Aug 26, 1991
