Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15090) and 3 other sources
In the spring of 2012, a quiet and dependable man named Ramon Castro Moore vanished from his life in Tacoma, Washington. On April 12th, the 55-year-old was last seen at his place of employment, Tacoma Cabinet & Fixture, located in the industrial tideflats area of the city. Moore was a decade-long employee who had a reputation for his steadfastness, never missing a day of work without prior notification. His sudden and unexplained absence was immediately out of character, raising concern among his colleagues. When he failed to show up for his shift and could not be reached, his coworkers were the ones to file a missing person report. At the time of his disappearance, Moore was described as being 5'5' and weighing approximately 190 pounds, with graying black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a grayish hat.

Investigators learned that Ramon Moore lived a simple life. He resided alone in a basement apartment and did not own a vehicle, relying on walking and public transportation to get around. This detail added another layer of complexity to the investigation, as it limited the geographical scope in which he might have traveled on his own. His physical description also included several distinguishing marks: scars on his face, right hand, right wrist, and left thigh, as well as a brown birthmark on his cheek. Despite these details being circulated, no credible sightings of Moore have been reported since the day he disappeared. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were deemed suspicious by the Tacoma Police Department, who took on the investigation.

Years have passed since Ramon Moore was last seen, and his case has grown cold, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions. The lack of any communication, financial activity, or evidence of his whereabouts has created a void of information. His disappearance is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish without a trace. The official investigation by the Tacoma Police Department remains open, but without new leads, the trail has gone cold. The case is a poignant illustration of a person who, by all accounts, was a reliable and hardworking individual who seemingly disappeared into thin air from the place he was most expected to be: his job. The overview of this case is one of sudden and unexplained absence, with the suspicious nature of the disappearance deepening the mystery and the pain for those who knew him.
