Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7315) and 12 other sources
David Jaramillo, a 21-year-old from Salt Lake City, Utah, was last seen on June 3, 1985, along with his 14-year-old friend, Lloyd Reese. The two had left Reese’s home in Salt Lake City with two other friends for a day of boating at East Canyon Reservoir. At some point during the outing, Jaramillo and Reese became separated from the rest of their group. They were last seen driving away in a brown Datsun B210. Neither has been heard from since, and despite investigations, their whereabouts remain unknown.

David had a chipped front tooth, a scar on his chin, and a tattoo on his right hand. He was working with his father at the New Grand Hotel and attending Salt Lake Community College at the time of his disappearance. The case has puzzled authorities, as they have found no solid evidence to indicate whether the two young men met with foul play or were involved in an accident.

The case remains unsolved, and their families, who still reside in the Salt Lake City area, continue to search for answers. Investigators have made no arrests, and the friends who were with them on the day of their disappearance are not considered suspects.
