Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8371) and 6 other sources
Dan Thomas Pogue, 26, was last seen in Eureka, California, on October 1, 1990. At the time of his disappearance, Pogue was described as 5'6" to 5'7" tall, weighing around 200 to 210 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He had distinguishing features, including a scar on his leg and a tattoo of a rose on his left leg. Despite being reported missing in 1990, records show that Pogue was in police custody as of April 14, 1991, but after that, he vanished, and no further information has been uncovered.

Pogue's case remained largely stagnant until it was officially reported in 1994 by the Eureka Police Department. To date, authorities have not discovered any significant leads, and his case remains unsolved. The lack of details surrounding his disappearance has made it challenging for investigators to determine what may have happened to him after his last known contact with law enforcement.

If you have any information related to his case, you are encouraged to contact the Eureka Police Department.
