Donald Wayne Baracosa, a 36-year-old man, was last seen on March 19, 1985, in Suisun, California. He disappeared without a trace from a residential area in Solano County. Standing 5'8" tall and weighing about 140 pounds, Baracosa was described as having brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was likely wearing dark-colored slacks and a shirt, although the color of the shirt remains unknown. He may have had a mustache and was known by the nickname “Donnie.”
Despite being missing for nearly four decades, few details are available about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. No information has surfaced regarding suspicious activity or potential leads, and his case remains unsolved. Baracosa's family and local authorities have worked for years to keep his case in the public eye, but there has been no major breakthrough or discovery that might explain what happened to him.
Baracosa’s case is classified as endangered missing, which suggests there may be concerns about his well-being given the lack of contact since his disappearance. His case continues to be handled by the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, which encourages anyone with information to come forward. Despite the availability of DNA records, other identifying markers, such as dental and fingerprint records, were not available at the time of his disappearance, further complicating efforts to solve this case.
While Baracosa’s disappearance has remained a mystery, his case is part of the larger context of unsolved disappearances from the 1980s, many of which share similar patterns of individuals vanishing without any clear reason or evidence left behind. Efforts to crowdsource new information continue, as advocates for missing persons seek to bring closure to cold cases like Baracosa's.
