Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9225) and 4 other sources
David Edward Parker, 52, was last seen on February 14, 1982, when he left Mesquite, Texas, with a friend, heading to Rusk, Texas. During the trip, Parker called another friend, reporting that he was having car trouble. However, after that call, he was never heard from again. His travel companion later claimed that after dropping Parker off, he was unaware of what happened to him afterward.

Parker's vehicle was later found near Mount Pleasant, Texas. Disturbingly, the car had been burned, and its registration had been removed, leading investigators to suspect foul play. Authorities believe Parker may have been taken against his will, though no definitive answers have emerged, and his case remains unsolved.

The Texas Department of Public Safety continues to investigate his disappearance, suspecting foul play. Parker had distinguishing features, including a scar over his left eye, and foul play is suspected in his case.
