Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14273) and 1 other source
In the autumn of 1984, the life of 35-year-old Donald Arthur Larson took a turn that would leave his loved ones with unanswered questions for decades to come. On November 28th of that year, in Seattle, Washington, Donald, a male with brown hair and blue eyes, vanished. He was known by the nicknames Fone Bone and Eldon Arthur Larson. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing around 200 pounds, Donald was a physically distinct individual. Adding to his unique appearance was a 'Ressurection' tattoo on his upper arm, a symbol of his affiliation with the Resurrection Motorcycle Club.

The evening of his disappearance, Donald had been at a meeting with his fellow club members. Accounts from that night indicate that he left the gathering with the intention of meeting someone. He was likely wearing his club's 'colors,' which consisted of a cut-off Levi jacket vest adorned with patches and emblems, a common attire for members of the Resurrection Motorcycle Club. After leaving the meeting, Donald was never heard from or seen again. The specifics of who he was planning to meet and the nature of that intended meeting remain unknown, adding a layer of mystery to the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

The King County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency in Donald's case, which was officially reported on March 23, 2012. Despite the passage of many years, his case remains open. The lack of any significant leads or new information has left his family and friends in a state of perpetual uncertainty. The case of Donald Arthur Larson is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind a void and a series of unanswered questions that haunt those who knew them. His disappearance after a motorcycle club meeting to meet an unknown person is the central and most perplexing aspect of this long-standing mystery.
