Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19675) and 9 other sources
Jack Duane Morgan, 15 years old, was last seen on December 5, 1996, at his home in San Diego, California. He lived with his father in the 2200 block of Haniman Drive. Jack's parents were divorced at the time, and no issues at home or school were reported prior to his disappearance. Despite this, his case is considered suspicious as none of his personal belongings were missing from the house, suggesting he did not intend to leave for an extended period.

Initially, Jack was classified as a potential runaway, but over time, authorities and his family began to view the case with greater concern due to the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Jack has a distinguishing scar near his left eye and may have gone by the name "Jason" or used the initials "JD."

Despite searches and investigations, little information has surfaced since 1996, and his case remains unsolved. Age-progressed images have been released, and authorities continue to seek any information that might lead to answers in his case. If anyone has information, they are encouraged to contact the San Diego Police Department.
Last Seen: Dec 5, 1996
