Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3896) and 2 other sources
In the winter of 2007, a 48-year-old man named Dion Mike Napier vanished, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. He was last seen on December 9, 2007, in Seattle, Washington. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male with brown hair and green eyes, standing at 5'11' and weighing between 175 and 180 pounds. A photo from when he was 30 years old shows him with a mustache, a small goatee, and a short beard. He also has a distinctive quarter-sized birthmark on the back of his neck.

Details surrounding the day Dion went missing are sparse. It is known that he was in Seattle after having taken a trip to Portland, Oregon. There was a possibility that he was planning to travel to Alaska, but this has not been confirmed. Since that day in December, there has been no contact from him, and his case has grown cold over the years, with very few details available to the public. His family and friends have been left in a state of uncertainty, holding onto hope for answers.

The investigation into Dion Napier's disappearance is being handled by the Seattle Police Department. His case was officially reported on August 28, 2009, and a NamUs case was created on December 9, 2009. Over the years, efforts have been made to keep his case in the public eye, including the creation of an age-progressed photo to show what he might have looked like around the age of 50. The lack of significant leads has made this a challenging case for law enforcement, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain a mystery. The overview of this case is one of a man who seemingly vanished without a trace after a trip, leaving behind a family searching for answers and a police department with a cold case on its hands.
