Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4468) and 2 other sources
Dennis Patrick Harrington, aged 33, disappeared from Monte Rio, California, on July 28, 1995. He was last seen in this small town located in Sonoma County, and his case has remained unsolved with few details available regarding the circumstances of his disappearance. Harrington was described as 5'11" tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. On the day he vanished, he was reportedly wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black Ben Davis pants. His dental records are on file, but there is no information about any other personal items or significant distinguishing marks.

The investigation into Harrington's disappearance yielded little information. He has not been heard from since that July day in 1995, and despite some efforts by local authorities and the involvement of organizations like the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department and NamUs (the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System), his whereabouts remain unknown. Harrington's case is still listed as a missing person case, and no substantial leads have surfaced over the years. It remains a cold case, leaving his family and investigators without closure.
