Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22435) and 1 other source
Steven Raymond Youngman, a 36-year-old man from Riverside, California, was last seen on July 1, 1994. On that day, Youngman contacted a family member to ask for financial assistance, and after the money was sent, he was never heard from again. His sudden disappearance left few clues, and his family has long suspected foul play. Despite ongoing investigations, details regarding his whereabouts remain scarce, and the case has grown cold over the years.

At the time of his disappearance, Youngman was described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing 5'11" and weighing around 170 pounds. His case has been classified as endangered missing, with law enforcement suspecting that something tragic may have occurred. His family has expressed concerns that Youngman may have been murdered, although no concrete evidence has surfaced to confirm this theory.

Youngman's case remains open, and investigators continue to seek any information that might provide answers about what happened to him. The Spokane Police Department and national missing persons databases, including NamUs, are involved in the ongoing search for clues that could help resolve this decades-old mystery.
