Roderick Cate Missing Person Case

Roderick Cate, a 55-year-old man from Ona, West Virginia, went missing on October 14, 2002, while en route to go camping in the Twin Peaks area of San Bernardino County, California. He had last been seen on October 12, 2002, and has not been heard from since. Cate, who was approximately 6 feet tall and weighed around 250 pounds, had black hair, blue eyes, and a mustache at the time of his disappearance.

At the time of the incident, Cate was traveling alone, heading to a remote location known for its challenging terrain. Despite extensive search efforts and investigations by local authorities, very few details about his disappearance have emerged over the years. He remains missing with no significant clues or leads, and the case is classified as a missing person investigation. Cate's case is still open, and his family, along with law enforcement, continue to seek information that could shed light on his whereabouts.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain largely unexplained, and there is little to suggest what might have happened after he was last seen. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate the case, but despite available forensic tools such as dental records and fingerprints, no breakthrough has occurred in over two decades.
Last Seen: Oct 14, 2002
